The Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $14 per machine-hour. What amount would be

Assuming the actual machine hours worked is 3,500

Note the actual machine was added by the tutor

Applied overhead =$49,000

Explanation:

Overheads are charged to units produced by the means of an estimated overhead absorption rate. This rate is computed using budgeted overhead and budgeted activity level.  

Pre-determined overhead absorption rate (POAR) = Budgeted overhead/Budgeted machine hours

The POAR is given as $14 per machine hour

Applied (absorbed) overhead = POAR × Actual machine hours

Applied overhead = $14 ×  3,500 =$49000

Applied overhead =$49,000
