Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Job No. 265 incurred $35,500 on direct labor costs. Manufacturing overhead is allocated at 130% of direct labor cost. The actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred in June amounted to $41,300.

First, we need to calculate the manufacturing overhead allocated:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 1.30*35,500= $46,150

Now, we can calculate the under/over allocation:

Over/under allocation= real MOH - allocated MOH= 41,300 - 46,150= 4,850 overallocated
