Job 5-3, which is still in work-in-process inventory, had actual direct labor costs of $80,000. The actual manufacturing overhead for year 5 was $470,000. Manufacturing overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor costs. a) How much overhead was applied to each job in year 5? b) What was the over-or underapplied manufacturing overhead for year 5?
