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.

If actual overhead for the year is 33451 and applied overhead is 32000 is the overhead variance over applied or under applied assuming the amount is immaterial how would you dispose of the variance?

Difference between actual overhead and applied overhead is as follows: Difference = 33451 - 32000 = 1450 Difference of variance will be charged to income statement.


The difference between variable factory overhead incurred and total standard variable factory overhead based on the actual quantity of the cost driver for applying the overhead is the?

Why do you need applied overhead rate?

We need applied overhead rate to know about the overhead variance. Otherwise how will we know how much overhead expenses should have been incurred and how much is actually incurred? Predetermined rate multiplied by the actual unit level activity is applied overhead


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.


What are the Reasons for using applied overhead versus actual overhead?

Using a predetermined rate makes itpossible to estimate total job costs sooner. Actual overhead for the period is notknown until the end of the period.

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.


How do you calculate under and over applied OH?

To calculate under or overapplied overhead, subtract the actual overhead costs from the applied overhead costs. If the actual overhead costs exceed the applied overhead costs, it is overapplied. If the applied overhead costs exceed the actual overhead costs, it is underapplied.

The actual manufacturing overhead incurred at gutekunst corporation during march was 53000 while the manufacturing overhead applied to work in process was 73000 the company's cost of goods sold?

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.

What is the difference between variable overheads cost variance andfixed overheads cost variance?

Variable overhead cost variance is that variance which is in variable overheads costs between the standard cost and the actual variable cost WHILE fixed overheads cost variance is variance between standard fixed overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost.


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).
