    238,000 expected overhead

    Explanation:

    actual overhead - applied overhead = under if >0 or over if <0

    233,000 - applied overhead = 15,400

    233,000 - 15,400 = 217,600 applpied overhead

    actual hours x rate = applied overhead

    16,000 x rate = 217,600

    rate = 13.6

    expected overhead/cost driver = rate

    expected overhead / 17,500 = 13.6

    13.6 x 17,500 = expected overhead

    238,000 expected overhead
