Explain why factory overhead (FOH) must be assigned to products using a predetermined overhead rate (POHR) while direct material (DM) and direct labor (DL) are traced directly to jobs. Provide the formula to calculate POHR.

Explain the concept of under-applied and over-applied overhead and provide the journal entry to close FOH if it is under-applied (debit balance)..

Explain how direct material flows through the different accounts until it is sold..

Predetermined Overhead Rate, Overhead Variances, Journal Entries Craig Company uses a predetermined overhead rate to assign overhead to jobs. Because Craig's production is machine intensive, overhead is applied on the basis of machine hours. The expected overhead for the year was $6,461,400, and the practical level of activity is 363,000 machine hours.    During the year, Craig used 369,500 machine hours and incurred actual overhead costs of $6,502,100. Craig also had the following balances of applied overhead in its accounts: Work-in-process...
