    1. Predetermined OH rate 360000/50000 = $7.20
    2. Applied overheads 51000 x 7.20 = $367200
    3. Applied overheads - Actual overheads = Under/over applied
    367,200 - 400,000 = 32,800 Under applied
    4. Unit costs
    Deluxe: 80,000 + 5000 x 7.20 = 116,000/5000 = $23.20
    Regular: 600,000 + 46000 x 7.20 = 931,200/50000 = $18.624

    Unit costs are always calculated on the basis of applied overheads. Over or under applied overheads are disposed of at the end of the year.
