Expert Answer
Answer 1.
Actual Manufacturing Overhead = $430,500
Manufacturing Overhead Cost = Machine-hours used * Predetermined Overhead Rate
Manufacturing Overhead Cost = 20,900 hours * $21
Manufacturing Overhead Cost = $438,900
Over-applied Overhead Cost = Manufacturing Overhead Cost – Actual Manufacturing Overhead
Over-applied Overhead Cost = $438,900 – $430,500
Over-applied Overhead Cost = $8,400
