Why use applied overheads instead of actual overheads

We assign applied overheads to Work-in-Process Inventory. This is because   the actuals are usually not readily available to costs the products and determine selling prices. The actuals are available later during the end of the period and using these, we would delay the product costing and pricing seasons.

Explanation:

Required 1

Theses are journal entries. Accumulate the production costs in the Work In Process Inventory Account. When units are completed, the cost from the Work In Process to the Finished Goods Account.

Required 2

This is the overheads Account. On the debit side of this account we record the overheads actually incurred during the production period. On the credit side we record the overheads applied. The balance of this account is either overapplied (debit) or under-applied (credit). In our case, we had an overapplied situation (debit).

Required 3

This is the Work-in-Process Account. Make sure to include the applied overheads instead of actual overheads.
