Answer:

overapplied by $19,100

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of manufacturing overhead for the year is shown below:-

Manufacturing overhead cost applied = Actual direct labor hours × Predetermined overhead rate

= 20,200 × $8

= $161,600

Manufacturing overhead for the year = Actual overhead - Applied overhead

= $142,500 - $161,600

= $19,100 overapplied

So, for determining the manufacturing overhead for the year we simply applied the above formula.
