Explanation / Answer

Dear Student Thank you for using Chegg Please find below the answer Statementshowing Computations Paticulars Amount Estimated budgeted overhead                   586,400.00 Estimated direct labour hours                      73,300.00 Predetermined overhead rate = 586,400/73,300                                8.00 case a Actual Manufacturing overhead                   584,400.00 Applied manufacturing overhead = 73,300*8                   586,400.00 Overapplied overhead = 586,400 - 584,400                        2,000.00 Since applied overhead is more than actual overhead , overhead is overapplied case b Actual Manufacturing overhead                   584,400.00 Applied manufacturing overhead = 74,550*8                   596,400.00 Overapplied overhead = 596,400 - 584,400                      12,000.00 Since applied overhead is more than actual overhead , overhead is overapplied case c Actual Manufacturing overhead                   599,000.00 Applied manufacturing overhead = 74,550*8                   596,400.00 Underapplied overhead = 596,400 - 599,000                        2,600.00 Since applied overhead is less than actual overhead , overhead is underapplied
