Question

At the end of the year, the company assembled the following actual cost data relating to all jobs worked on during the year: Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year, assuming that a plantwide overhead rate is used. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Input all amounts as positive values. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year, assuming that departmental overhead rates are used. (Input all amounts as positive values. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Explanation / Answer

1.Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year, assuming that a plantwide overhead rate is used.

Plantwide overhead rate   = $1,443,010 / 901,000 = $1.60

Manufacturing overhead applied      901,000 x $1.70     $1,443,010
Actual manufacturing overhead                                    $1,484,000   
Under  applied                                                             $40,900
                              
2.Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year, assuming that departmental overhead rates are used.
                              Fabricating  Machining   Assembly     Total
Manuf.OH applied    $537,000     $806,010     100,000 $1,443,010
Actual                      $561,000     $830,000     $93,000   $1,484,000   
Under applied            $24,000      $23,990                          $40,990
Over applied                                                 $7,000
