    No option is correct, the correct answer is estimated overhead = $102,500

    Explanation:

    total estimates overhead expense = $2,050,000

    overhead is assigned based on machine hours = 20,000 per year

    overhead rate = $2,050,000 / 20,000 = $102.50 per machine hour

    actual overhead rate applied to job B12 = overhead rate x machine hours = $102.50 x 1,000 = 102,500

    since the actual overhead expense was $2,100,000 the overhead rate was underapplied, because it was actually higher than expected. This resulted in a $2,500 unfavorable variance in applied overhead for job B12 = estimated overhead - real overhead = $102,500 - $105,000 = - $2,500

    a. $41,000

    Explanation:

    According to given data

    Overheads are applied using predetermined overhead rate, which is calculated using budgeted overhead and budgeted activity on which overheads are applied.

    Predetmined Overhead rate = Budgeted Overhead / Budgeted Machine hours = $2,050,000 / 20,000 = $102.5 per machine hour

    Overheads Applied = Predetermined Overhead Rate x Actual Machine Hours = $102.5 x 1,000 = $102,500

    Given options are inconsistent with the data givenin the question

    $41,000

    $820

    $42,000

    $840

    According to Orginal Question

    Overheads are applied using predetermined overhead rate, which is calculated using budgeted overhead and budgeted activity on which overheads are applied.

    Predetmined Overhead rate = Budgeted Overhead / Budgeted Machine hours = $820,000 / 20,000 = $41 per machine hour

    Overheads Applied = Predetermined Overhead Rate x Actual Machine Hours = $41 x 1,000 = $41,000
