Factory 1 Factory 2 Estimated factory overhead cost for fiscal year beginning March 1 $12,900,000 $10,200,000 Estimated direct labor hours for year 250,000 Estimated machine hours for year 600,000 Actual factory overhead costs for March $1,082,500 $840,833 Actual direct labor hours for March 20,416 Actual machine hours for March 50,833Explanation / Answer
a. Determine the factory overhead rate for Factory 1. Round the answer to two decimal places.
$ per machine hour
Overhead rate = 12900000/600000=21.5 per machine hour
b. Determine the factory overhead rate for Factory 2. Round the answer to two decimal places.
$ per direct labor hour
Overhead rate = 10200000/250000 = 40.8 per labour hour
c. Journalize the entries to apply factory overhead to production in each factory for March. When required, round your answers to the nearest doll
d. Determine the balances of the factory overhead accounts for each factory as of March 31, and indicate whether the amounts represent overapplied factory overhead or underapplied factory overhead.
Over/under applied overhead = Applied overhead-actual overhead
Factory 1 = 1092910-1082500 = 10410 Over applied
Factory 2 = 832973-840833 = (7860) under applied
