Answer:
a. not able to be determined from the provided information.
Explanation:
For determining the over applied or under applied, first, we have to compute the predetermined rate based on the direct material cost which is
= $700,000 ÷ $1,000,000
= $0.70
Now the applied overhead is
= $0.70 × $1,200,000
= $840,000

Answer:
Total= 36,800 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales (units ) - Production (units):
May: 20,000 - 19,000
June: 18,000 - 16,000
Two pounds of material is required for each finished unit. The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 20% of the following month's production needs.
Purchases for May= production for the month + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 19,000*2 pounds= 38,000 pounds
Desired ending inventory= (16,000*2)*0.2= 6,400 pounds
Beginning inventory= (38,000*0.2)= (7,600)
Total= 36,800 pounds
