Explanation:

Lock-Tite Company

Actual Factory Overhead 215,000

Factory overhead Indirect materials 15,000

Indirect labor 80,000

Other overhead costs 120,000

Direct Labor = 345,000

Predetermined Overhead = 70% of $ 345,000= $ 241,500

Actual Overhead = $ 215,000

Difference = Predetermined Overhead - Actual Overhead

                = 241,500- $ 215,000= 26,500 Under applied

We find the difference between actual overhead and applied overhead to find the underapplied ( overapplied overhead. If the actual overhead is less than applied overhead it is underapplied. But if the actual overhead is greater than applied overhead it is over applied.
