A debit balance in the manufacturing overhead account at year end means?
It means you have incurred more actual manufacturing overhead costs than you have applied to your products (i.e., manufacturing overhead is underapplied).
What if budgeted manufacturing overhead is not equal to applied manufacturing overhead?
There is a variance.
Applied overhead vs actual overhead?
APPLIED Overhead is computed using the predetermined overhead rate and is the amount of costs applied (or estimated) to be allocated (needed) for specific jobs. ACTUAL Overhead is found after the manufacturing process is complete which gives the actual amount of used/consumed resources (or total costs) that it needed to complete the job. The two amounts can then be compared afterward which is known as Under- or Overapplied Manufacturing Overhead. When Manufacturing Overhead has a DEBIT balance, overhead is said to be UNDERAPPLIED, meaning that the overhead applied to work in process or to the certain job is LESS than the overhead incurred. On the contrary, when manufacturing overhead has a CREDIT balance, overhead is OVERAPPLIED, meaning that the overhead assigned to work in process or to the certain job is GREATER than the overhead incurred.
Is overhead applied after the period?
Overhead is applied at start of production to calculate the cost of goods manufactured and to determine the total cost and profit as well.
What is the Difference between actual overhead costs and overhead costs applied?
The Actual overhead is calculated throughout the Production cycle for indirect cost associated to the production and the overhead costs applied is based on the fixed rate assigned against the machine or labour hours to be calculated for the difference b/w two are called under or over applied.
When manufacturing overhead is applied to production is added to?
the Work in Process account

What is Applied manufacturing overhead?
what is factory overhead applied?
What if budgeted manufacturing overhead is not equal to applied manufacturing overhead?
There is a variance.
Why factory overhead cost is applied on production?
Factory overheads are incurred only and only due to production of the goods. That is why the factory overhead cost is applied to production.

What is the difference between FOH applied and FOH actual?
actual foh is the overhead expenses actually incurred on production while applied foh is budgeted overhead expenses for budgeted production.

What type of production system is Flexible manufacturing systems are generally applied?
Flexible manufacturing systems can be used for medium production batches,
Why aren't actual manufacturing overhead cost traced?
Actual manufacturing overheads cannot be traced until the end of production or fiscal period and companies cannot wait to find out the cost of product that's why applied onverheads are used at start of business and then adjusted for actual overheads at the end of production or fiscal period.
What is a proper journal entry to close overapplied manufacturing overhead to Cost of Goods Sold?
[Debit] Cost of goods sold [Credit] Over-applied overhead
