Data available for the year:

Budgeted factory overhead $675,000
Actual factory overhead $ 726,000
Budgeted direct-labor costs $ 450,000
Actual diret-labor costs $ 482,000

End of year balances:

Materials Inventory $ 120,000
WIP inventory $ 100,000
Cost of Goods sold $ 150,000
Finished goods inventory $ 250,000

What is the applied overhead based on direct-labor costs?

Prorate the overhead variance to the appropriate accounts.

[morgaine300]

Overhead rate = estimated overhead costs/estimated activity base

(Activity base can be things like machine hours, direct labor hours, direct labor dollars. The problem always tells you what to use.)

Applied overhead = rate from above x actual activity base.

Please make an attempt to do your own work, and then we can help you.
