What is the manufacturing overhead overapplied or underapplied for the year?

Answer 1

Answer: The manufacturing overhead over applied by $6,600.

Explanation:

Given that,

Manufacturing Overhead from last year’s books at Sharp Manufacturing:

(b) 22,600

(c) 26,600

(d) 157,200

(e) 213,000

Actual manufacturing overhead = b + c + d

                                                     = 22,600 + 26,600 +  157,200

                                                     = $206,400

Manufacturing Overhead applied = e = $213,000

Manufacturing overhead applied is $213,000 but actual manufacturing overhead is  $206,400

Hence,

Manufacturing overhead over applied by:

= Manufacturing Overhead applied - Actual manufacturing overhead

= $213,000 - $206,400

= $6,600

Therefore, the manufacturing overhead over applied by $6,600.
