In December 2018, the Wilson Company established its pre-determined overhead rate for Grandfather Clocks produced during 2019 by using the following cost predictions: Overhead costs, $1,680,000 and Labor cost, $480,000. At year-end 2019, the company's records reflect that actual Overhead costs for the year are $1,652,000. Actual Direct Labor costs had been assigned to jobs as follows:" Movies completed and released $425,000
Movies still in production 50,000
Total actual direct labor cost $475,000
A. Determine the pre-determined overhead rate for 2015.
B. Determine whether overhead is overappliedor underapplied (and the amount) during the year.
C. Prepare the adjusting entry to allocate any over- orunderapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated Overhead cost= $1,680,000

Estimated Labor cost= $480,000

Actual:

Overhead costs= $1,652,000.

Actual Direct Labor costs= $475,000

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,680,000/480,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $3.5 per direct labor dollar

Now, we allocate overhead:

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

Allocated MOH= 3.5*475,000= $1,662,500

To calculate any under/over allocation, we will use the following formula:

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 1,652,000 - 1,662,500

Under/over applied overhead= $10,500 underallocated

Finally, the adjusting entry:

Cost of goods sold     10,500

underapplied overhead     10,500

employers prefer to hire ingenious, resourceful people because ingenious people may be more liable to engage in unethical deportment as they can cerebrate outside of the box
