Answer:

overapplied for 20,200

Explanation:

Predetermined overhead rate:

[tex]\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate[/tex]

350,000/250,000 = 1.4

each dollar of labor generates 1.4dollar of overhead

Applied overhead:

63,000 x 1.4 = 88,200

actual overhead: 62,000

82,200 - 62,000 = 20,200
