The direct materials cost exceeded the estimate by $320 because 10 meters of materials were spoiled. The direct labor cost exceeded the estimate by $84 because anadditional 6 hours of labor were used by inexperienced employees who worked for $1 less per hour. The factory overhead cost exceeded the estimate because anadditional $67 of factory overhead was allocated because of the increase in direct labor.d.

Little Lizards Everywhere Co. ("LLE") uses job-order costing and allocates MOH using normal costing. LLE uses two MOH (Manufacturing Overhead) accounts: MOH Control for accumulating MOH costs and MOH Allocated for recording MOH allocated to Jobs. For 2019, LLE decided to use machine hours as its base for allocating MOH and estimated that it would use 50,000 machine hours that year.
