Discuss underapplied and overapplied overhead and its disposition at the end of the period
During the course of the production cycle, actual overhead costs are incurred. When overhead is applied to Work in Process, it is commonly applied using a predetermined rate. Overhead application at a predetermined rate may cause overhead to be under- or overapplied. If actual overhead is greater than applied overhead, then underapplied overhead results and a debit balance exists in the overhead account. If applied overhead is greater than actual overhead, then overapplied overhead results and a credit balance exists in the overhead account. If the amount of under- or overapplied overhead is immaterial, it is closed directly to Cost of Goods Sold. If the amount is material, it must be allocated among Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold.
