Cale Douglas · Answer 1

Debit manufacturing overhead with actual overhead incurred-$423,400

Explanation:

Absorbed overhead = Overhead absorption rate (OAR) * actual direct labour hours

OAR = Budgeted overhead / Budgeted labour hours

= $385,700/20,300 hours=

Absorbed overhead = $19 * 21,600 = $410,400

Absorbed overhead = $410,400.

In accounting for overhead the following entries would be observed

Debit manufacturing overhead with actual overhead incurred-$423,400

And credit manufacturing overhead with absorbed overhead - $410,400

The difference of $13000 is the over absorbed overhead
