Vandalia | Modesto | |||
a) | Estimated overhead | 4025000 | 2580000 | |
b) | Estimated allocation base | 115000 | 150000 | |
c) = a/b | Predetermined overhead rate | 35 | 17.2 | |
d) | Actual overheads | 4100000 | 2600000 | |
e) | Predetermined overhead rate | 35 | 17.2 | |
f) = h/e | Actual allocation base = Applied overheads/Predetermined overhead rate | 120000 | 145000 | |
g) | Actual overheads | 4100000 | 2600000 | |
h) = e*f | Applied overheads | 4200000 | 2494000 | |
Applies overheads < Actual overheads | Underapplied | |||
Actual overheads < Applied overheads | Overapplied |
