Q:Consider Exercise 13-9-a. How much overhead was expected to be incurred (i.e., how much was budgeted)?
NOTE: Type your answer as a whole dollar amount with a comma but without the dollar sign (in the format 9,999 or 99,999 or 999,999).
Consider Exercise 13-9-b. How much overhead was over- or under-applied?
NOTE: Type your answer as a whole dollar amount with a comma but without the dollar sign AND indicate whether it was over or under applied (in the format 9,999 over or 9,999 under).
You should know that the overapplied or underapplied overhead for the year is normally transferred to cost of goods sold in the income statement. Since most products made during the year are sold during the same year, manufacturing overhead costs are assumed to relate primarily to the products sold. However, if the over- or underapplied overhead is material in dollar amount, then it may be allocated between work-in-process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold, based on the respective overhead amount included in the year-end balances. You should know about this allocation rule but you will not be asked to complete any exam or quiz problems that require you to do the allocation calculations.
