    2,000 overapplied

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Manufacturing overhead costs incurred:

    Property taxes, factory $ 3,000

    Utilities, factory 5,000

    Indirect labor 10,000

    Depreciation, factory 24,000

    Insurance, factory 6,000

    Total actual manufacturing overhead costs $ 48,000

    The rate for the year was $5 per machine-hour; a total of 10,000 machine-hours was recorded for the year.

    First, we need to calculate the allocated MOH for the year:

    Allocated MOH = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate * Actual amount of allocation base

    Allocated MOH = 5*10,000 = $50,000

    Under/Over applied = real MOH - allocated MOH = 48,000 - 50,000 = 2,000 overapplied
