Answer #1

Underapplied overhead = $10,000

Estimated overhead = $450,000

Actual direct labor hour worked = 92,000

Actual overheads = $465,000

Estimated direct labor hour = ?

Overhead applied = Actual direct labor hour worked x Predetermined overhead rate

= 92,000 x Predetermined overhead rate

Underapplied overhead = Actual overheads - Overhead applied

10,000 = 465,000 - 92,000 x Predetermined overhead rate

92,000 x Predetermined overhead rate = 455,000

Predetermined overhead rate = $4.945 per direct labor hour

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overhead/Estimated direct labor hour

4.945 = 450,000/Estimated direct labor hour

Estimated direct labor hour = 91,000

Correct option is (D)
