Answer:
$160 overapplied
Explanation:
Icy Mocha company estimates it's factory overhead costs to be $35,000 and machine hours to be 5,000 for a period of one year.
The actual number of hours worked on job 333 and 334 equals a total of 4,980
The actual factory overhead costs are $34,700
The first step is to calculate the predetermined overhead rate
= Overhead costs/machine hours
= $35,000/5,000
= $7
The amount of either over or underapplied factory costs can be calculated as follows
= predetermined overhead rate×actual number of hours worked
= $7×4,980
= $34,860
The amount is then subtracted from the actual overhead costs
= $34,700-$34860
= -$160
= $160 overapplied
Hence the amount of overapplied factory overhead is $160
