Answer:

$3,200 overapplied

Explanation:

The computation of the total underapplied or overapplied factory overhead is shown below:

Given that

Actual total factory overhead costs incurred is $45,400

Now Overhead applied to production

= (Total factory overhead application rate per standard DLH × Standard direct labor hours allowed)

= $2.70 × 18,000

= $48,600

As we can see that the overhead applied amount is more than the actual amount so the overhead cost would be overapplied i.e.  

 = $48,600 - $45,400

= $3,200 overapplied
