LO 4.6When setting its predetermined overhead application rate, Tasty Box Meals estimated its overhead would be $100,000 and would require 25,000 machine hours in the next year. At the end of the year, it found that actual overhead was $102,000 and required 26,000 machine hours.

Answer:

(a) $4 per machine hour

(b) $104,000

Explanation:

(a) Predetermined overhead rate:

= Estimated overhead ÷ Machine hours

= $100,000 ÷ 25,000

= $4 per machine hour

(b) Overhead applied during the year:

= $4 per machine hour × 26,000

= $104,000

(c) Overapplied overhead,

since overhead applied is greater than the actual overhead by [$104,000 - $102,000] $2,000.

The journal is as follows:

Manufacturing overhead A/c Dr. $2,000

          To Cost of goods sold A/c              $2,000

(Being the Overapplied overhead is recorded)
