Required:
1. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate.
(Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
2. Calculate the amount of applied manufacturing
overhead.
3. Calculate actual manufacturing overhead
costs.
4. Compute over- or underapplied overhead.
(Input the amount as positive value.)
1. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate.
Predetermine overhead rate = Estimated overhead/estimated labour hour
= 178560/18600
Predetermine overhead rate = 9.6 per labour hour
2. Calculate the amount of applied manufacturing overhead.
Applied overhead = 1860*9.6 = 17856
3. Calculate actual manufacturing overhead costs.
Indirect labour | 2500 |
Indirect material | 3360 |
Factory rent | 3260 |
Factory supervision | 4870 |
Factory depreciation | 5790 |
Factory janitorial work | 1280 |
Factory insurance | 1830 |
Total actual manufacturing overhead | 22890 |
4. Compute over- or underapplied overhead.
Over /under Applied overhead = Applied overhead-actual overhead
= 17856-22890
under applied overhead = 5034
