Omega Company would have applied $31,500 of fixed manufacturing overhead if capacity usage had equaled the master budget. Given that 2,000 standard hours were allowed for the actual output, that actual fixed manufacturing overhead equaled the budgeted amount, and that overhead was applied at a rate of $15 per hour, what is the entry to close the fixed manufacturing overhead accounts

Sagot :

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry to close the manufacturing overhead account is shown below:

Given that

There is applied overhead of $31,500

And, the budgeted overhead is

= 2,000 × $15

= $30,000

As we can see that the budgeted overhead would be lower than the applied overhead so this is an under applied overhead

Cost of goods sold Dr $1,500 ($31,500 - $30,000)

         To factory overhead $1,500

(Being the closing of overhead is recorded)
