    Compute overhead applied and the under - or overapplication of overhead for the period

    Budgeted Rate = $1,600,000 / 400,000 machine hours

    = $ 4 per Machine Hour

    Overheads Applied = 390,000 * $ 4 per Machine Hour

    = 1,560,000

    Actual Overheads = 1,575,000

    Less Applied Overheads = 1560,000

    Under - Applied = 15,000

    Explanation:

    Overheads are Applied as follows:

    Actual Activity for the period * Budgeted Overhead Rate

    Budgeted Rate is determined as follows:

    Budgeted Total Overheads/Budgeted Activity

    Under - or Overapplication of overhead is determined as follows:

    Actual Overheads - Applied Overheads

    Under Application is therefore : Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads

    Over Application is therefore : Actual Overheads < Applied Overheads
