Crich Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year, the estimated direct labor-hours were 22,160 hours and the total estimated manufacturing overhead was $585,024. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 22,150 hours and the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $585,024.

Overhead at the end of the year was:

a.$314 overapplied

b.$314 underapplied

c.$264 underapplied

d.264 overapplied

The correct answer is option (c) $264 underapplied

Explanation:

Given data;

Direct labour hour = 22160

Total Manufacturing overhead cost= $585,024

Actual direct labor hour = 22150

Actual Manufacturing overhead cost = $585024

Calculating the Predetermine overhead rate using the formula;

Predetermined Overhead rate=Total Overhead Cost/Total Direct Labor Hour

Predetermined Overhead rate = $585024/22160

                                                      =$26.4 per labor hour

To determine the under-applied amount of overhead cost, we use the formula;

Under−Applied amount= Estimated Overhead Cost*Actual Overhead Cost

Substituting into the formula, we have

                          (22150*26.4)-585024

      Under applied  = $ 264

a paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and make sense, and are all related to a single topic . almost every piece of writing you do that is longer than a few sentences should be organized into paragraphs. this is because paragraphs show a reader where the subdivisions of an essay begin and end, and thus the reader see the organization of the essay into subjects in order to be able to understand its main points.
