Computation of applied overhead cost
Applied overhead cost shall be computed by multipying the machine hrs actual
with the predetermined overhead rate
Actual Machine Hrs 90000
Predetermined OH rate $2.50
Applied OH Cost Actual Machine hrs*Predetermined OH Rate
90000*$2.5
$225,000
1 Calculation the OH cost applied to WIP as shown below:
Manufacturing OH
Particulars Amount Particulars Amount
Maintenance $36,000 WIP $225,000
Indirect Materials $9,500
