hardwood company uses a job order costing system that applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of machine hours. The companys predetermined overhead rate of $2.50 Per machine hour was based on the cost formula that estimates $237,500 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 95,000 machine hours.

Required:
1. Assume that during the year the company works only 90,000 machine hours and incurs the following costs in the manufacturing overhead and work in process accounts: compute the amount of overhead cost that would be applied to work in process for the year and make the entry in your T accounts.
2a. Compute the amount of under applied or overapplied overhead for the year and show the balance in your manufacturing overhead T account.
2b. Prepare a journal entry to close the companies under applied or overapplied overhead cost of goods sold.
Computation of applied overhead cost | |||||||
Applied overhead cost shall be computed by multipying the machine hrs actual | |||||||
with the predetermined overhead rate | |||||||
Actual Machine Hrs | 90000 | ||||||
Predetermined OH rate | $2.50 | ||||||
Applied OH Cost | Actual Machine hrs*Predetermined OH Rate | ||||||
90000*$2.5 | |||||||
$225,000 | |||||||

2-a | Calculate the under applied OH | ||||||
Under applied OH shall be computed by deducting the applied OH from the actual | |||||||
