overapplied by $1,000.
underapplied by $1,000.
overapplied by $1,012.
underapplied by $1,0

Answer 1

under applied by $1,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $101,998 ÷ 67,992 hours

= $1.50

Now we have to find the applied overhead which equal to

= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 70,000 hours × $1.50

= $105,000

So, the ending overhead equals to

= Actual manufacturing overhead - actual overhead

= $106,000 - $105,000

= $1,000 under-applied
