    a) Predetermined overhead rate is 210%

    b. Overhead is under-applied by $42,700

    c. Particulars Debit credit

    cost of goods sold $42,700 $42,700

    factory overhead

    Explanation:

    Beginning of the year

    Overhead costs = $840,000

    Direct materials costs = $400,000

    End of the year actual overhead cost = $1,151,500

    Jobs completed and sold = $390,000

    Jobs in finished goods inventory = $83,000

    Jobs in work in process inventory = $55,000

    Total actual direct materials cost = $528,000

    a. Calculating the predetermined overhead rate = (Overhead : direct labor) * 100

    Predetermined overhead rate = ($840,000 : $400,000) * 100

    = 210%

    b. Factory overhead

    Actual overhead = $1,151,500

    Applied overhead = $528000 * 210% = $1,108,800

    Difference = actual overhead - applied overhead

    = $1,151,500 - $1,108,800

    = $42,700 Under-applied overhead

    c. Adjusting entry to allocate the above under-applied overhead cost of goods sold

    Particulars Debit credit

    cost of goods sold $42,700 $42,700

    factory overhead
