Calculate Over/underapplied Manufacturing overhead
Answer 1 |
||
Calculation of Predetermined overhead rate |
||
(A) |
Estimated Overheads |
$ 430,000.00 |
(B) |
Estimated total Direct labor Hours |

$ 110,000.00 |
|||
Other Factory Overheads |
$ 350,000.00 |
|||
(A) |
Total Cost |
$ 955,000.00 |
||
(B) |

Answer 4 |
|||||
When actual Overheads are lower than applied overheads it is called as Under-applied overheads and when actual overheads are lower greater than applied overheads then overheads are said to be Over-applied. |
|||||
Actual Overheads |
$ 595,000.00 |
||||
Applied Overheads |
$ 716,666.67 |
||||
Over-applies Overheads |
$ 121,666.67 |
||||
Since actual overheads are less than applied overheads it is called a situation of Over-applied overheads.
