11. Goliath Incorporated applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. At the beginning of 2017, the cost accountant estimated the following information for the year:

Total direct labor hours 2,000

Total direct labor cost $80,600

Total direct materials cost $150,750

Total machine hours 7,100

Total manufacturing overhead cost $50,200

At the end of 2017, the cost accountant noted that actual direct labor hours incurred was 2,300, total direct labor cost was $87,200 and actual manufacturing overhead incurred was $60,800 during the year. Was manufacturing overhead under-applied or over-applied and by how much?

PdOR = 50,200 (est MOH)/ 2000 (DLH base) = $25.10/DLH

Actual hours x PdOR = 2,300 x 25.10 = 57,730 Applied Overhead

60,800 MOH incurred 57,730 Applied Overhead = 3,070 Underapplied

Use the following information for Questions 12-14:
