Accounting Basics
Answer 1
Predetermined overhead rate using machine hours = Budgeted manufacturing overheads/Budgeted machine h
Predetermined overhead rate using machine hours = $ 364,000/10,000 = $ 36.40 per hour

Answer 2
Predetermined overhead rate using labor hours = Budgeted manufacturing overheads/Budgeted labor hours
Predetermined overhead rate using labor hours = $ 364,000/20,000 = $ 18.20 per hour

Predetermined overhead rate using direct labor dollars = Budgeted manufacturing overheads/Budgeted labor

Predetermined overhead rate using direct labor dollars = $ 364,000/(20,000 hours * $ 14 per hour) = 130 % of d

Answer 3
(a) Under/Over applied overheads using machine hours
Actual overheads $ 340,000
Applied overheads $ 400,400 (11,000 machine hours *$ 36.40 per machine hour)
Overapplied overheads $ 60,400

(b) Under/Over applied overheads using direct labor hours


Actual overheads $ 340,000
Applied overheads $ 327,600 (18,000 machine hours *$ 18.20 per machine hour)
Underapplied overheads $ -12,400

(c) Under/Over applied overheads using direct labor dollars


Actual overheads $ 340,000
Applied overheads $ 351,000 (130% of (18,000 hours * $ 15 per hour)
Overapplied overheads $ 11,000
ds/Budgeted machine hours

Budgeted labor hours

rheads/Budgeted labor costs

4 per hour) = 130 % of direct labor cost

18000*18.2
