A manufacturing company applies factory overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that factory overhead costs would be $360,000 and direct labor hours would be 30,000. Actual factory overhead costs incurred were $377,200, and actual direct labor hours were 36,000. What is the amount of overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead at the end of the year? a. $6,000 overapplied b. $54,800 overapplied c. $6,000 underapplied d. $54,800 underapplied

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

At the beginning of the year, it estimated that factory overhead costs would be $360,000 and direct labor hours would be 30,000. Actual factory overhead costs incurred were $377,200, and actual direct labor hours were 36,000.

First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 360,000/30,000= $12 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual direct labor hours:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 12*36,000= $432,000

Finally, we will determine the under/over allocation:

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 377,200 - 432,000= $54,800 overapplied

the answer is: c.that person might be arrested and deported

filling w-4 form incorrectly usually would rise suspicions from government's auditors. when they notice such mistakes, they would send their teams to investigate the situation further.

if those investigation teams believe that the incorrectness is done on purpose (with malicious intent), that person can be arrested or deported
