    Estimated Over head applied = ($112500 / $125000) * 100 = 90% of Direct labor cost.

    Thus, Actual Over Head applied = 90% of $120000 = $108000

    Moreover, Actual Over Head incurred = $107400

    Therefore, Overhead Over-applied is to be applied as the Actual Overhead applied is higher than the Actual Overhead Incurred

    Overhead Over-applied = $108000 - $107400

    Overhead Over-applied = $600

    The entry to close the over-applied overhead at year-end would include:

    i. Over-head A/c will be debited for $600

    ii. Cost of goods sold will to be credited for $600
