Question

Kilt Company used a predetermined overhead rate of $41 per direct labor hour for the year and estimated that direct labor hours would total 6,100 hours. Assume the only inventory balance is an ending Work in Process balance of $17,700. How much overhead was applied during the year

Answer 1

$205,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The above is an incomplete question as we were not given actual direct labor hours. From a similar question, I picked 5,000 as the direct labor hours .

With regards to the above information, applied overhead is computed as;

Applied overhead = Overhead rate × Actual direct labor hour

Given that;

Overhead rate = $41

Actual direct labor hour = 5,000

Therefore,

Applied overhead = $41 × 5,000 = $205,000
