At the end of the construction year for his business, Martin's uncle Edward is having trouble dealing with the company's indirect costs as there are just so many of them! To help his uncle (and because he hopes to take over the family business one day), Martin listed a few examples of what he thought would be indirect costs for this company: glue, nails, staples, drywall compound, and tape. Edward then added supervisor costs, as well as depreciation of the construction trucks, generators, saws, and other equipment, to the list. Unfortunately, the total of these MOH costs, $524,000, significantly exceeded Edward's budgeted MOH of $447,840. In the past, Edward assigned MOH costs to individual jobs based on the direct labor hours of his employees. At the beginning of the year, based on the work he had planned and still hoped to earn at that time, Edward budgeted for 144,000 DL hours. In reviewing the payroll records of his employees, Edward now sees that they actually worked 159,000 hours this year while receiving an average wage of $15 per hour. Wow, business must be good! (b) Based on the above information, determine the budgeted MOH rate based on DL hours, apply MOH for the year, and determine under-or overapplied MOH for the year.
