Question

Thomlin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $13,502,000 with 157,000 total machine hours. Year to date, the actual overhead is $8,179,100, and the actual machine hours are 91,900 hours. If Thomlin Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours for applying overhead, as of this point in time (year to date), the overhead is

Answer 1

$275,700 underapplied

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the overhead is shown below:

But before that following calculation need to be done

Applied overhead is

= Actual machine hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 91,900 hours × ($13,502,000 ÷ 157,000)

= $7,903,400

And, the actual overhead is $8,179,100

So, the under applied overhead is

= $8,179,100 - $7,903,400

= $275,700
