Not sure about that, but $700 seems too low.

I’m leaning towards $4,780, but I’m worried I might have missed some overhead costs in the transactions.

I feel like the answer might be $6,000, but I’m not completely confident. I need to double-check the calculations.

I remember a similar question where we had to add up different expenses. I think we just sum everything up, but I can't recall the exact numbers.

I think the manufacturing overhead account should include all the costs listed, but I'm not sure how to calculate the total correctly.

No problem, I've got this. I'll just add up the debits and credits to find the final balance.

Wait, wait, wait. Are we sure we're not missing something here? I feel like there's a trick question lurking, you know? Maybe I should just flip a coin and see what happens. 50/50 chance, right?

Okay, I've got this. The beginning balance was zero, and then we have a debit of $2,000 and a credit of $5,700. That means the final balance has to be $6,700. D is the answer, easy peasy!

Hmm, let me think this through. Looks like I need to add up all the debits and credits to the manufacturing overhead account. This seems straightforward enough, but I better double-check my work.
