Explanation / Answer
Solution a:
Estimated overhead = Factory Supervisor salary + Indirect Material + Factory utilities + Other indirect costs
= $27,600 + $10,300 + $1,200 + $275 = $39,375
Estimated direct labor hours = 4500
Predetermined overhead rate = $39,375 / 4500 = $8.75 per hour
Solution b:
Actual direct labor hours = 5000
Applied overhead = 5000*$8.75 = $43,750
Solution c:
Actual overhead incurred = $29,000 + $11,000 + $1,500 + $350 = $41,850
Overapplied overhead = $43,750 - $41,850 = $1,900
