Logan Products computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that its total manufacturing overhead would be $356,500 and machines would be run a total of 24,000 hours. Its actual total manufacturing overhead for the year was $344,400 and its actual total machine-hours was 23,500 hours.
Required:
Compute the company’s predetermined overhead rate for the year, calculate the total overhead applied, and determine the amount of under- or overapplied overhead in the year. (Round your predetermined overhead rate to 2 decimal places.)
Answer | ||
Total manufacturing overhead | $ 356,500 | |
Divide by Estimated Machine hours | 24000 | |
Predetermined overhead rate | 14.85 | per machine-hour |
Actual machine-hours | 23500 | |
X Predetermined overhead rate | 14.85 | |
Total overhead applied | $ 348,975 | |
Total overhead applied | $ 348,975 | |
Less: Actual manufacturing overhead | $ 344,400 | |
Overapplied overhead | $ 4,575 | |
