### Overhead Allocation Computation Problem**Adams Manufacturing allocates overhead to production on the basis of direct labor costs. At the beginning of the year, Adams estimated total overhead of $392,400; materials of $408,000 and direct labor of $218,000. During the year Adams incurred $415,400 in materials costs, $410,800 in overhead costs and $222,000 in direct labor costs. Compute the amount of under- or overapplied overhead for the year.**---#### Multiple Choice:- [ ] $11,200 overapplied.- [ ] $18,400 overapplied.- [ ] $11,200 underapplied.- [ ] $18,400 underapplied.---**Explanation:**To solve this problem:1. **Calculate the predetermined overhead rate:** \[ \text{Predetermined Overhead Rate} = \frac{\text{Estimated Overhead}}{\text{Estimated Direct Labor Costs}} = \frac{392,400}{218,000} \approx 1.8 \text{ (or 180%)} \]2. **Apply the overhead rate to actual direct labor costs to find applied overhead:** \[ \text{Applied Overhead} = \text{Predetermined Overhead Rate} \times \text{Actual Direct Labor Costs} = 1.8 \times 222,000 = 399,600 \]3. **Compare the applied overhead to the actual overhead incurred:** \[ \text{Overhead Incurred} = 410,800 \] \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Applied Overhead} - \text{Actual Overhead} = 399,600 - 410,800 = -11,200 \]Since the difference is negative, it indicates underapplied overhead.- Therefore, the correct answer is: $11,200 underapplied.(Note: This screen content is from an educational quiz on overhead allocation methodology.)
