Question

E20-5 Ikerd Company applies manufacturing overhead to jobs on the basis of machine hours used. Overhead costs are expected to total $300,000 for the year, and machine usage is estimated at 125,000 hours.

For the year, $322,000 of overhead costs are incurred and 130,000 hours are used.

Instructions

.    (a) Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year.

.    (b) What is the amount of under- or overapplied overhead at December 31?

.    (c) Prepare the adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold.

Explanation / Answer

Manufacturing Overhead Rate = Standard Ovverhead / Standard Hours

= 300000 / 125000

= 2.4 per hour

Overhead Applied = standard rate x actual hours

= 2.4 x 130000

= 312000

Actual Overhead = 322000

Actual Overhead > Overhead applied , therefore this is case of under applied overhead.

Entry to record under application (322000-312000)
