Victryl company applies overhead based on direct labor hours. at the beginning of the year, victryl estimates overhead to be $700,000, machine hours to be 200,000, and direct labor hours to be 35,000. during february, victryl has 5,000 direct labor hours and 10,000 machine hours. if the actual overhead for february is $98,300, what is the overhead variance, and is it overapplied or underapplied? a.$1,700 overappliedb.$600 overappliedc.$1,000 underappliedd.$1200 underappliede.$800 overapplied

correct option is a. $1,700 over head applied

Explanation:

given data

overhead = $700,000

machine hours = 200,000

direct labor hours = 35,000

Feb, direct labor hours = 5,000

Feb, machine hours = 10,000

Feb, actual overhead = $98,300

solution

we know overhead rate that is

overhead rate =

overhead rate =

overhead rate = $20 per hours

and in Feb for 5000 direct labor hour

overhead =  5000 × $20  = $100,000

so

over head applied = $100,000 - $98300

over head applied = $1700

so correct option is a. $1,700 over head applied
