Northface Company applies overhead based upon labor-hours.
Budgeted factory overhead was $910,000 and budgeted labor-hours
were 32,500. Actual factory overhead was $893,675 and actual
labor-hours were 31,560.
Required:
a. Compute the overhead application rate.
b. Compute the amount of overhead applied to production.
c. Determine the amount of over- or underapplied overhead.
a) Overhead application rate= Budgeted Overhead/Actual Labor Hours
=910000/32500= $28 per labor hour
b) Overhead applied for production= Actual labor hours*Overhead application rate
=31560*28= $883,680
c) Actual overhead(893675) is more than applied overhead(883680).Hence there will be under absorption of overhead.
