Terrence Industries charges manufacturing overhead to products by using a predetermined application rate, computed on the basis of labor hours. The following data pertain to the current year: Budgeted manufacturing overhead $1,800,000
Actual manufacturing overhead 1,810,000
Budgeted labor hours 60,000
Actual labor hours 61,500

What is the correct status of manufacturing overhead at year-end?

See below

Explanation:

First, we need to get the predetermined rate

Predetermined rate = Cost of manufacturing overhead / Cost driver

= $1,800,000/60,000

= $30

We will now calculate the application.

Actual labor hours × rate

= 61,500 × $30

= $1,845,000

We will now compare actual with overhead cost

= Applied Overhead cost - Actual manufacturing overhead

= $1,845,000 - $1,810,000

= $35,000

The above is an over application of overhead cost because the cost applied exceed the actual cost.

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
