Claire Corporation allocates (applies) Overhead based on direct labor hours. Here is
selected data from the Jacob Corporation:
Estimated MOH = $500,000
Actual MOH = $480,000
Estimated Direct Labor hours = 50,000
Actual DL hours = 55,000
Since actual MOH is $20,000 less than estimated MOH, then overhead must have been
over-allocated by $20,000 - ANSWERSFalse
-----
Applied Overhead = $500,000 Est. MOH / 50,000 Est. DLH = $10/DLH (PDOR)
$10 PDOR * 55,000 actual DLH = $550,000 Applied
Actual MOH - Applied MOH
$480,000 - $550,000
= $70,000 OVER-applied
Choosing the method of allocating costs to products (i.e., plant-wide vs. ABC) can have
an impact on the total manufacturing costs - ANSWERSFalse
-----
Direct Costs do not change, MOH potentially change at individual product level but not
overall
Traditional overhead allocation methods the use unit-based cost drivers are never
accurate - ANSWERSFalse

When is the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate computed? -
ANSWERSbefore the period starts
Direct materials cost = $35,000
Direct labor hours = 6,000
Direct labor costs = $30,000
Actual MOH = $25,000
Machine hours worked = 3,000
Given this information, if manufacturing overhead is applied (allocated) at the rate of
80% of direct labor cost, overhead for August is: - ANSWERS$1,000 underapplied
-----------
Applied MOH: $30,000 * 0.8 = $24,000
