Answer:
$79,200
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of applied overhead is shown below:
Let us assume
Direct labor cost = Y
Applied overhead will be = 0.9 Y (90% of Y )
As we know that
Beginning Work in process + Direct material + Direct labor + Applied overhead = Transfer to finished goods + Ending Work in process
$17,600 + $52,800 + Y + 0.9 Y = $201,520 + $36,080
$70,400 + 1.9 Y = $237,600
1.9 Y = $237,600 - $70,400
1.9 Y = $167,200
Y = $167,200 ÷ 1.9
Y = $88,000
So, Direct labor cost is $ 88,000.
Therefore the Amount of applied overhead will be
= $88,000 × 90%
= $79,200
