c. Under applied $ 1,340

Explanation:

Computation of predetermined overhead rate

Estimated manufacturing overhead $ 594,960

Estimated direct labor hours 22,200 hours

Predetermined overhead rate per direct labor hour

$ 594,960 / 22,200 hours $ 26.80 per hour

Actual Direct Labor hours 22,150 hours

Applied overhead at predetermined direct labor rate

$ 26.80 * 22,150 hours $ 593,680

Actual overhead $ 594,960

Overhead under applied $ (1,340)
