Explanation / Answer

Solution.

Material :- $116,000

Direct = $88,000

Indirect = $28,000

Labour :- $140,000

Direct = $121,000

Indirect = 19,000

Additional actual manufactureing overhead incurred = $213,000

Total Actual overhead for the month is = $28,000 +$19,000 + $213,000 = $260,000

Budgeted overhead = $267,000

That means overhead under applied by $7,000.
