Answer:

a. $29.23

b. $146,150

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The computation of overhead application rate is shown below:-

Overhead application rate = Total standard overhead ÷ Total standard hours

= $163,710 ÷ (1,120 × 5)

= $163,710 ÷ 5,600

= $29.23

So, for determining the overhead application rate we simply divide the total standard overhead by total standard hours.

b. The computation of overhead was applied to production is shown below:-

Applied overhead = Standard hours for actual production × Overhead application rate

= 5,000 × $29.23

= $146,150

So, for determining the applied overhead we simply divide the standard hours for actual production by overhead application rate
