what is factory overhead applied?
the Work in Process account
Depreciation is not a manufacturing labor rather it is manufacturing overhead as machines used in manufacturing is not part of labor rather it is part of overhead.
Trick question-not enough info provided. The difference between what costs were incurred and what costs were applied to WIP may not have anything to do with the cost associated with what was shipped out the door.
If the estimated materials, labor or overhead costs allocated for a manufacturing order is different from the actual cost of the MO then the potential result is a Manufacturing Overhead Variance.
manufacturing supplies is equal to factory overhead
There is a variance.
It means you have incurred more actual manufacturing overhead costs than you have applied to your products (i.e., manufacturing overhead is underapplied).
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.

No. Cost would include the cost of materials. Overhead would not.
It's because the POHR is only an estimate. Both the cost driver and the estimated total manufacturing overhead costs in the ratio are based on past figures. You don't know what it will actually be for the year until the actual costs come in when the year is over. Obviously, the estimate won't exactly equal the actual. When it is over or under applied you must do a correcting journal entry. If overhead were over applied by 30,000 for example, you would debit Manufacturing overhead for the amount and credit COGS
