Hairco sold $15,000 worth of hair products in January. Create an income statement for the month. Like many companies, Hairco uses actuals for DM & DL, and the Budgeted MOH rate to calculate MOH.

In March, Hairco gets its utility bill (2000 kilowatt hours were used) for January, the last of its MOH costs for that month. How much is Hairco’s MOH over or under-applied? What are its options for disposing of this amount? Show all these.
