Minstrel Manufacturing uses a job order costing system. During one month, Minstrel purchased $193,000 of raw materials on credit; issued materials to production of $210,000 of which $15,000 were indirect. Minstrel incurred a factory payroll of $154,000, of which $25,000 was indirect labor. Minstrel uses a predetermined overhead application rate of 150% of direct labor cost. If Minstrel incurred total overhead costs of $193,000 during the month, compute the amount of under- or overapplied overhead:
Multiple Choice
$39,000 overapplied.
$500 underapplied.
$38,000 overapplied.
$500 overapplied.
$39,000 underapplied.

$3,000; $1,250.

$1,750; $940.
$4,220; $0.
Q.1 Solution -
Total Labour Cost = $154,000
Out of which indirect labout = $25,000
Direct Labour Cost = $154,000 - $25,000
= $129,000
Minstrel uses a predetermined overhead application rate of 150% of direct labor cost.
Budgeted Overhead = 150% of Direct Labour Cost
= 150% of $129,000
= $193,500
Actual Overheads = $193,000
Hence it is Overhead $500 overapplied.
Q.2 Solution -
The company's cost of goods sold for May is $3,310
The balance of Work in Process inventory on May 31 is $910
