Solution

To calculate the amount of under or over allocated overhead cost, we first need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate and then compare it with the actual overhead costs.

Step 1: Calculate the predetermined overhead rate. This is done by dividing the budgeted manufacturing overhead costs by the budgeted direct manufacturing labour costs.

Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing overhead costs / Budgeted direct manufacturing labour costs = 121,000/121,000 / 220,000 = 0.55 or 55%

This means that for every dollar of direct manufacturing labour cost, ROW expects to incur 55 cents of manufacturing overhead costs.

Step 2: Calculate the applied overhead. This is done by multiplying the predetermined overhead rate by the actual direct manufacturing labour costs.

Applied overhead = Predetermined overhead rate * Actual direct manufacturing labour costs = 0.55 * 229,000=229,000 = 125,950

Step 3: Calculate the amount of under or over allocated overhead. This is done by subtracting the applied overhead from the actual manufacturing overhead costs.

Over or under allocated overhead = Actual manufacturing overhead costs - Applied overhead = 121,950121,950 - 125,950 = -$4,000

Since the result is negative, this means that ROW over allocated its overhead by $4,000 in 2018.
