Answer 1

Cost of Direct Material Used $134,900.

Under applied Overhead $36,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of Direct Material Used

Opening Material $44,000

Add: Opening Work in Process $9,300

Add: Purchases $185,000

Less: Closing Material $49,000

Less: Closing Work in process $19,800

Less: Closing finished goods $34,600

= $134,900

Overhead Rate Application:

Budgeted Overhead 55% of direct labor cost [55% * 250,000] = $137,500

Actual Overhead is $173,500

Under applied Overhead is $36,000
