During its first year of operations, Salt Company had estimated total manufacturing overhead to be $1,759,500. Salt Company used direct labor hours as an allocation base for the predetermined overhead rate. Estimated total direct labor hours for the year was 15,300 and actual total direct labor hours amounted to 21,700. The direct labor wage rate is $28/hr. Actual manufacturing overhead was 108% of estimated total manufacturing overhead.

The ending balances in work-in-process, finished goods inventory, and cost of goods sold before any adjustment for over or under-allocated manufacturing overhead were $499,000, $1,520,000, and $2,720,000 respectively. An analysis of the account balances concluded that actual direct labor cost was 9% of the account balance for all three accounts.
