Required:
Answer :
The budgeted manufacturing overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing overhead costs / Budgeted machine hours
= $4,600,000 /184,000
= $25
The Manufacturing overhead allocated during 2017 = Actual machine hours * Budgeted manufacturing overhead rate
= 180,000*$25
= $4,500,000
The amount of under - or over allocated manufacturing overhead
The manufacturing overhead allocated during 2017 = $4,500,000
Actual manufacturing overhead costs = $4,830,000
Hence, Manufacturing overhead costs over allocated = Manufacturing overhead allocated during 2017
= $4,500,000 - $4,830,000
= $ - 330,000
