Solutions

Expert Solution

Given in the question,                                                       

Estimated overhead = $300,000

Estimated direct labor cost = $200,000

Actual direct labor cost = $215,000

a) Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overhead/ Estimated direct labor cost

                        = 300000/200000    (Substituting the value from above)                      

                        = $ 1.5 per direct labor cost

b) Actual overhead applied = Actual direct labor cost X Predetermined overhead rate

                                            = 215000 X 1.5 (Substituting the value from above)                      

                                            = $ 322,500
