What is the balance of the Manufacturing Overhead account and is overhead underapplied or overapplied at the end of the year?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Over/under allocation= $30,000 overapplied

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Manufacturing overhead applied $150,000

The actual amount of manufacturing overhead costs 120,000

To calculate the ending balance, we need to determine whether the overhead was under or over applied:

Over/under allocation= real MOH - allocated MOH

Over/under allocation= 120,000 - 150,000= 30,000 overapplied
