Explanation:

We have to compute the predetermined overhead rate on direct labor hours.

Estimated overhead                                                            $ 242,400

Estimated direct labor hours                                                  7400 hours

Predetermined overhead rate on direct labour hours       $ 32.76 per hour

Applied overhead based on actual direct labor hours

5,500 labor hours * $ 32.76 per hour  =                              $ 180,180

Actual manufacturing overhead                                           $ 243,800

Underapplied overhead                                                       $  63,620
