Explanation / Answer

Solution 1:

Estimated Factory Overhead = $1,250,000

Estimated Machine hours = 40,000 hours

Predetermined factory overhead rate = Estimated Factory Overhead /Estimated Machine hours  

= $1250000/ 40000 = $31.25 per Machine hour

Applied factory Overhead =Predetermined factory overhead rate* Actual machine hours = $31.25 *4780 = $149,375

Actual Factory Overhead = $141,800

Overapplied factory Overhead = $149375 -$141800 = $7,575 Overapplied

Hence Option "c" is correct.

Solution 2:

Job order costing and process costing are Cost Accounting systems.

Hence option "a" is correct.
