Answer:

Option d ($20,000 Debit balance) is the appropriate option.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Total overhead costs,

= $400,000

Direct labor costs,

= $2,000,000

Actual overhead incurred,

= $380,000

Actual direct labor costs,

= $1,800,000

Now,

As a % of labor cost, the OH will be:

= [tex]\frac{400000}{2000000}\times 100[/tex]

= [tex]20 \ percent[/tex]

The absorbed overhead will be:

= [tex]1800000\times 20 \ percent[/tex]

= [tex]360,000[/tex]

Then,

The balance in overhead account will be:

= Actual overhead incurred - Absorbed overhead

= [tex]380000 - 360000[/tex]

= [tex]20,000[/tex] ($) (Debit balance)
