The following information relates to Burgundy for July 2020:
Actual direct labour costs $50,000
Actual direct labour rate per hour $10
Factory overhead rate per direct labour hour $15
Factory overhead incurred $80,000
As part of the cost planning and cost control of operations and activities, management is concerned regarding the applied overhead rate used.
Predetermined overhead.
Predermined overhead rate = Budgeted factory overhead / Budgeted hrs
Predetermined overhead rate = $15 ($90,000/6,000)
Predetermined overhead rate is $15 per labour hr.
Applied Overhead = Actual labour hrs * Predetrmined rate
Actual labour hrs = 5,000hrs ($50,000/$10)
Applied overhead = $75,000 (5,000*$15)
Actual overhead = $80,000
Under applied Overhead = $5,000 ($80,000-$75,000)
It is under applied because of under predetermined overhead rate .
