Required: Compute: 1) The applied factory overhead 2) The over-or underapplied factory overhead amount for October,

Respuesta :

The applied factory overhead is $6,939 and  the over-or underapplied factory overhead amount for October is $461.

Applied and under applied factory overhead

1. Applied factory overhead:

Predetermine overhead rate=Fixed overhead/Machine hours

Predetermine overhead rate=16,920/36,000

Predetermine overhead rate=0.47

Applied overhead=Machine hours×Rate

Variable=2700×2.10 per hour= $5,670

Fixed=2700×0.47 per hour=$1,269

Total overhead applied=$6,939

($5,670+$1,269)

2. Under applied overhead

Total overhead applied $6,939

Less Total factory overhead   $7,400

Under applied overhead -$461
($6,939-$7,400)

Therefore the applied factory overhead is $6,939 and  the over-or underapplied factory overhead amount for October is $461.
