Question

Bayest Manufacturing Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Last year, the Corporation worked 56,000 actual direct labor-hours and incurred $352,000 of actual manufacturing overhead cost. The Corporation had estimated that it would work 60,000 direct labor-hours during the year and incur $330,000 of manufacturing overhead cost. The Corporation's manufacturing overhead cost for the year was:

Answer 1

Answer:

$ 44000

Explanation:

Given:

Actual overhead manufacturing cost, Ac = $ 352000

Actual direct labor hours, Ah = 56000

Estimated manufacturing overhead cost, Ec = $ 330000

Estimated direct labor hour, Eh = 60000

Now,

Predetermined Overhead Rate = Ec/Eh

on substituting the values in the above formula we get

= $ 330000/60000 = 5.5

also,

Underapplied Overhead = Ac + (Ah × Predetermined Overhead Rate)

on substituting the values in the above formula we get

Underapplied Overhead = 352000 - (56000 × 5.5)

or

Underapplied Overhead = $ 44000
