    Answers explained below

    Explanation:

    1. Cutting department overhead rate $1.63 per machine hour. Using the formula overhead cost / machine hours = (244,500/150000).

    Sewing department overhead rate $3.5 per direct labour hour using the formula overhead cost/direct labour hours = (350,000/100000)

    2. overhead applied to cutting in june is $22233.20 given by the formula overhead rate * machine hours = (13640*1.63), overhead applied to sewing in june is $30100 given by the formula direct labour hours * overhead rate per direct labour hour = (8600*3.5)

    3. Using the actual data,

    Cutting Department Overhead Variance = 20610 - 22233.20 = - $1623.20 (overapplied).

    Sewing Department Overhead Variance=35750 - 30100 = $5650 (underapplied)
