Indirect materials……………………………	155,000
Indirect labor………………………………..	225,000
Sales commissions………………………….	50,000
Factory depreciation…………………………	170,000
Property taxes, factory……………………...	115,000

(b) Determine the amount of over- or underapplied overhead and state whether it was under or overapplied. Prepare the journal entry to eliminate the over- or underapplied overhead.

Solutions

Expert Solution

a) Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated factory overhead*100/ Estimated direct labor cost

= 550000/250000 = 220%

Applied overhead = Actual labor hours * predetermined overhead rate = 300000*220% = $ 6,60,000

b) Actual overhead = indirect material + indirect labor + factory depreciation + property taxes, factory

= 155000+225000+170000+115000 = $6,65,000

Underapplied overhead = Actual overhead - Applied overhead = $6,65,000 - $ 6,60,000 = $5,000

Journal entry to eliminate underapplied factory overhead:

Dr. Cost of goods sold $5,000

Cr. Factory overhead $ 5,000

Note : (Advertising and sales commission are not factory overheads.)
