![### Manufacturing Overhead Calculation
Manufacturing overhead was estimated to be $591,600 for the year along with 20,400 direct labor hours. Actual manufacturing overhead was $551,820, and actual labor hours were 21,800. The amount of manufacturing overhead applied to production would be:
#### Multiple Choice Options:
- ○ $591,600
- ○ $474,150
- ○ $632,200
- ○ $551,820
#### Explanation:
To calculate the applied manufacturing overhead, determine the predetermined overhead rate based on estimates, and then apply it to the actual labor hours:
1. **Estimated Rate**:
- Estimated Overhead: $591,600
- Estimated Labor Hours: 20,400
\[
\text{Predetermined Overhead Rate} = \frac{\text{Estimated Overhead}}{\text{Estimated Labor Hours}} = \frac{591,600}{20,400}
\]
2. **Apply Rate**:
- Actual Labor Hours: 21,800
\[
\text{Applied Overhead} = \text{Predetermined Overhead Rate} \times \text{Actual Labor Hours}
\]
This approach ensures the applied overhead reflects the actual production activity.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F722bea73-1b23-42a9-a20d-4d3ae022af80%2F4f69c452-14f0-4e18-a67b-a70e6e4dad9a%2Fdh3r2nl_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
