Budgeted Overhead Application Rates
Overhead rates are Overhead rates are budgeted; they are budgeted; they are estimates. The budgeted estimates. The budgeted rates are used to apply rates are used to apply overhead based on actual overhead based on actual events.events.

Budgeted machine hours are 69,450.Budgeted machine hours are 69,450.
The budgeted overhead application rate is:The budgeted overhead application rate is:$277,800 ÷ 69,450 = $4 per machine hour$277,800 ÷ 69,450 = $4 per machine hour

Disposing of Under-applied or Over-applied Overhead
The applied overhead is The applied overhead is $17,000 less than the $17,000 less than the amount incurred. It is:amount incurred. It is:
