XYZ industries applies overhead based on direct labor cost. The following information was available for the last year: Actual manufacturing overhead OMR50,000; Underapplied manufacturing overhead OMR10,400; Actual Prime cost OMR52,000; Actual Direct material cost OMR19,000; Estimated direct labor cost OMR35,000. What was the estimated manufacturing overhead for the year? Select one:
a. None of the answers given
b. OMR39,600
c. OMR46,800
d. OMR44,400
e. OMR42,000
Answer :-
Option e) OMR42,000
.
Explanations :-
Applied Overhead = Actual Manufacturing Overhead of Last Year - Under applied Overhead
= OMR50,000 - OMR10,400
Applied Overhead = OMR39,600
.
Actual Direct Labor Cost = Actual Prime cost - Actual material cost
= OMR52,000 - OMR19,000
Actual Direct Labor Cost = OMR33,000
.
Overhead Applying rate = Applied overhead last year / Labour cost of last year
= OMR39,600 / OMR33,000
Overhead Applying rate = 1.20 or 120%
.
Estimated Direct Labor cost = OMR35,000
Estimated Manufacturing Overhead = Estimated Direct Labor cost × Overhead Applying rate
= OMR35,000 × 1.20
Estimated Manufacturing Overhead = OMR42,000
