3. Total manufacturating overhead = Actual manufacturating ´ Budgeted
Allocated under normal costing labor cost overhead rate
= $1,450,000 x 1.80
= $2,610,000
Underallocated manufacturating = Actual manufacturating – Manufacturating
Overhead overhead cost overhead allocated
= $2,755,000 – $2,610,000 = $145,000
There is no under- or overallocated overhead under actual costing because overhead is allocated under actual costing by
multiplying actual manufacturing labor costs and the actual manufacturing overhead rate. This, of course equals the actual
manufacturing overhead costs. All actual overhead costs are allocated to products. Hence, there is no under- or
overallocatead overhead.
E4-20 Job costing, accounting for manufacturing overhead, budgeted rates
1. An overview of the product costing system is
Budgeted manufacturing overhead divided by allocation base:
Machining overhead $1,800,000 = $36 per machine-hour
50,0000
Assembly overhead: $3,000,000 = 180% of direct manuf. labor costs
2,000,000
2. Machining department, 2,000 hours ´ $36 $72,000
Assembly department, 180% ´ $15,000 27,000
Total manufacturing overhead allocated to Job 494 $99,000
3. Machining Assembly
Actual manufacturing overhead $2,100,000 $ 3,700,000
Manufacturing overhead allocated,
55,000 ´ $36 1,980,000 —
180% ´ $2,200,000 — 3,960,000
Underallocated (Overallocated) $ 120,000 $ (260,000)
