Claire Corporation allocates (applies) Overhead based on direct labor hours. Here
is selected data from the Jacob Corporation:
Estimated MOH = $500,000
Actual MOH = $480,000
Estimated Direct Labor hours = 50,000
Actual DL hours = 55,000
Since actual MOH is $20,000 less than estimated MOH, then overhead must have
been over-allocated by $20,000 - CORRECT ANSWER False
Applied Overhead = $500,000
Est. MOH / 50,000 Est. DLH = $10/DLH
(PDOR)$10 PDOR * 55,000 actual DLH = $550,000 Applied
Actual MOH - Applied MOH $480,000 - $550,000 =
