Harwood Company uses a job-order costing system that applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of machine-hours. The company's predetermined overhead rate of $2.40 per machine-hour was based on a cost formula that estimates $192,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 80,000 machine-hours.

Required:

a. Assume that during the year the company works only 78,000 machine-hours and incurs $225,000 Manufacturing Overhead. Compute the amount of overhead cost that would be applied to Work in Process for the year.
b. Compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year and show the balance in your Manufacturing Overhead T-account.
c. Prepare a journal entry to close the company's underapplied or overapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.
