Swifty Company applies manufacturing overhead based on direct
labor hours. Information concerning manufacturing overhead and
labor for the year as follows:
Actual manufacturing overhead | $167400 |
Estimated manufacturing overhead | $159600 |
Direct labor incurred | 2700 hours @ $25 = $67500 |
Direct labor estimated | 2800 hours @ $24 = $67200 |
How much is over or underapplied overhead at year end?
$7800 overapplied.
$13500 underapplied.
$5700 underapplied.
$6200 underapplied.
Answer- The amount of under-applied overhead costs at year end = $13500.
Explanation= Under-applied overhead costs = Actual manufacturing overhead costs – Manufacturing overhead applied
= $167400 – $153900
= $13500
Explanation- Manufacturing overhead applied = Predetermined overhead rate per hour*Actual labor hours
= $57 per labor hour *2700 labor hours
= $153900
Where- Predetermined overhead rate = Total manufacturing overhead/ Budgeted labor hours
= $159600/2800 labor hours
= $57 per labor hour
