Lakeside, Inc. estimated manufacturing overhead costs for the year at $371,000, based on 180,000 estimated direct labor hours

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

D.$400 over allocated

Explanation:

For computing the over-allocated or under-allocated amount, first, we have to determine the predetermined overhead rate which is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $371,000 ÷ 180,000 hours

= $2.06

Now we have to find the actual overhead which equals to

= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 190,000 hours × $2.06

= $391,400

So, the ending overhead equals to

= Actual manufacturing overhead - actual overhead

= $391,000 - $391,400

= $400 over - applied
