Beckett Delacruz · Answer 1

The amount of underapplied manufacturing overhead at the end of the year is $1200.

Explanation:

Total estimated $360,000/est

direct labour hours 45000 = $8x (Actual Dl hours) 47000

= $376,000

Actual Overhead worked = $377,200 - $376,000

= $1200 underapplied

Therefore, The amount of underapplied manufacturing overhead at the end of the year is $1200.
