    d.$898 overapplied

    Explanation:

    Overheads are applied using predetermined overhead rate, which is calculated using estimated overhead and estimated activity on which overheads are applied.

    As per given data

    Estimated overhead = $210,600

    Estimated direct labor hour = 6,000 direct labor hours

    Predetermined overhead rate = $210,000 / 6,000 = $35.1

    Applied overhead = Predetermined overhead rate x Actual direct labor hours

    Applied overhead = $35.1 x 5,980 hours = $209,898

    Under / Over applied overhead = Actual overhead - Applied overhead

    Under / Over applied overhead = $209,000 - 209,898 = - $898

    The overhead is over applied by $898
