The allocation base of the company is machine-hours and the estimated amount of the allocation base for the upcoming year is 43,000 machine-hours. In addition, the actual activity for the year is 42,600 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and is P848,820 per year. For simplicity, it is assumed that this is the estimated manufacturing overhead for the year as well as the actual amount of manufacturing overhead for the year. Job F3, which required 310 machine-hours, is one of the jobs worked on during the year. Determine the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year if the predetermined overhead rate is based on the estimated amount of the allocation base. _______________
Variance Analysis
