Question:

Answer:

Given that,

Estimated direct labor-hours = 21,800 hours
Total estimated manufacturing overhead = $497,040

Overhead rate = Total estimated manufacturing overhead / Estimated direct labor-hours

= $497,040/21,800 = 22.80 per hour.

Actual direct labor-hours for the year = 21,500 hours
Actual manufacturing overhead for the year = $4,92,040

Manufacturing Overhead applied = 21,500 hours * 22.80 = $ 4,90,200.

Overhead at the end of the year is
Manufacturing Overhead applied - Actual manufacturing overhead

= $ 4,90,200 - $492,040 = ($ 1,840) (underapplied)

Option (C) is the correct answer.
