Answer #1
1 Plantwide overhead rate = Total Overhead / Direct Labor Hours
= $56,360 / 11,400
= $4.94 per direct labor hour
2 Applied Overhead = Plantwide overhead rate x Actual activity level
= $4.94 x 13,640
= $67,381.60
3 Over or Underapplied Overhead = Actual Overhead - Applied Overhead
= $56,360 - $67,381.60
= $11,021.60 Overapplied
