Lakeshore Company allocates overhead using direct labour-hours. For 2020, the estimated and actual labour-hours were 182,000 and 168,000 respectively, and the predetermined overhead rate used to apply overhead for the year was $24.40 per direct labour-hour. The manufacturing overhead control T-account showed a credit balance of $184,600 at the end of the year, and this balance was disposed of at the end of the year by closing it to cost of goods sold.
Required:
1. Was manufacturing overhead under- or overapplied?

Do nothing about the $1,500 because it is not material and it is likely that overhead will be overapplied by the same amount next year. e. Include the $1,500 on the income statement as “Other Expense.”
