    a. Determine the total factory overhead amount applied.

    $1,406,600

    b. Calculate the over or under the applied amount for the year.

    $8,600 over applied

    Explanation:

    Estimated factory overhead = $938,600

    Estimated machine hours = 36,100 hours

    Actual Machine hours = 54,100 hours

    Actual Factory overhead = $1,398,000

    Predetermined overhead rate = $938,600 / 36,100

    Predetermined overhead rate = $26 per machine hour

    Applied overhead = Predetermined overhead rate x Actual Machine hours

    Applied overhead = $26 x 54,100

    Applied overhead = $1,406,600

    Over or under the applied amount for the year = Applied overhead - Actual overhead

    Over or under the applied amount for the year = $1,406,600 - 1,398,000

    Over applied amount for the year = $8,600
