If the actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year totaled $145,000, then overhead was: overapplied by $25,000 overapplied by $10,000 underapplied by $25,000 underapplied by $10,000

underapplied by 25,000

Explanation:

20,000 direct labor x 6$ overhead rate = 120,000 applied overhead

actual overhead 145,000

underapplied by 25,000

Reasoning:

If applied is lower than actual overhead it is underapplied.

We active cost for 120,000 when it should be for 145,000

If applied is higher than actual overhead it is overapplied.

We active cost for 120,000 when it should be for 100,000
