A total of 19,400 machine-hours were used during the year. Required: 1. Compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead cost for the year 2. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for the year

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead cost is shown below:-

Overapplied overhead cost = Actual Manufacturing overhead costs - Manufacturing overhead applied

= $473,000 - (19,400 × $25)

= $473,000 - $485,000

= $12,000

2. The Preparation of cost of goods manufactured for the year is shown below:-
