Question

ABC Company listed the following data for the current year:

Budgeted factory overhead $1,044,000
Budgeted direct labor hours 69,600
Budgeted machine hours 24,000
Actual factory overhead 1,037,400
Actual labor hours 72,600
Actual machine hours 23,600

If overhead is applied based on machine hours, the overapplied/underapplied overhead is:

a. $15,300 overapplied.
b. $15,300 overapplied.
c. $10,800 underapplied.
d. $10,800 overapplied.
e. $-0-.

Answer 1

$10,800 underapplied

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for If overhead is applied based on machine hours, the overapplied/underapplied overhead is:

Overhead machine hours=[($1,044,000/24,000)×23,600]-1,037,400

Overhead machine hours=($43.50 x 23,600) - 1,037,400

Overhead machine hours=$1,026,600- 1,037,400

Overhead machine hours= $10,800 underapplied

Therefore If overhead is applied based on machine hours, the overapplied/underapplied overhead is:$10,800 underapplied
