Applied vs. Actual Manufacturing Overhead
Kubal Inc. applies overhead based on machine hours. Kubal reports the following for the year just ended:
Budgeted overhead for the year | $290,000 |
Budgeted machine hours | 2,000 |
Actual overhead for the year | $315,000 |
Actual machine hours | 2,400 |
What is the amount of over- or under-applied overhead for the year?
$AnswerAnswerover-appliedunder-applied
Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted overheads / Budgeted machine hours |
=> Predetermined overhead rate = $290,000 / 2,000 hours = $145 per machine hour |
Total overheads applied during the year = Actual machine hours x Predetermined overhead rate |
=> Total overheads applied during the year = 2,400 hours x $145 per hour = $348,000 |
Actual overheads for the year = $315,000 |
Hence, the overapplied overheads = Total overheads applied during the year - Actual overheads |
= $348,000 - $315,000 = $33,000 overapplied |
