Answer:
Overapplied overhead= $16,000
Explanation:
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= 340,000 / 170,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2 per direct labor dollar
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 2*192,000
Allocated MOH= $384,000
Finally, the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 368,000 - 384,000
Overapplied overhead= $16,000
