Question

Crich Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year, the estimated direct labor-hours were 21,880 hours and the total estimated manufacturing overhead was $516,368. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 21,700 hours and the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $516,368. Overhead at the end of the year was: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

$4,248 under applied

Step-by-step explanation:

For computing the ending overhead amount we need to do following calculations which are shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate is

= Total estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ estimated direct labor-hours

= $516,368 ÷ 21,880 hours

= $23.6 per hour

Now

Actual overhead applied is

= $23.6 × 21,700 hours

= $512,120

Therefore,

Overhead under applied is

= Manufacturing overhead - Actual overhead applied

= $516,368 - $512,120

= $4,248 under applied
