    Under/over allocation = $6,850 overallocated

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours to apply overhead to individual jobs. For the current year, estimated direct labor hours are 153,000 and estimated factory overhead is $1,208,700.

    The following information is for September:

    Direct labor hours: Job X 9,000 Job Y 7,500

    Labor costs incurred: Direct labor ($8.00 per hour) $ 132,000

    Manufacturing overhead costs:

    Indirect labor 56,000

    Factory supervisory salaries 13,100

    Rental costs:

    Factory $ 11,300

    Total equipment depreciation costs:

    Factory $ 12,400

    Indirect materials used $ 30,700

    Total = 123,500

    First, we need to determine the manufacturing overhead rate:

    manufacturing overhead rate = total estimated manufacturing overhead / total amount of allocation base

    manufacturing overhead rate = 1208700 / 153000 = $7.9 per direct labor hour

    Allocated overhead = manufacturing overhead rate * actual allocation base = 7.9 * 16500 hours = $130,350

    Under/over allocation = real overhead - allocated overhead

    Under/over allocation = 123500 - 130350 = 6850 overallocated
