Answer:

The applied overhead is greater than the $650,000 by $30,000 which shows a over-applied overhead.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the applied overhead is shown below:

= Direct labor hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 170,000 hours × $4

= $680,000

And, the actual overhead is $650,000

Since the applied overhead is greater than the $650,000 by $30,000 which shows an over-applied overhead.

In mathematically,

Over-applied overhead = Applied overhead - actual overhead

= $680,000 - $650,000

= $30,000
