Determine the amount of under


Athens Corporation uses a job-cost system and applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of machine hours. The company's accountant estimated that overhead and machine hours would total $800,000 and 50,000, respectively, for 20x1. Actual costs incurred follow.

  • DIrect Material Used $250,000
  • Direct Labor $300,000
  • Manufacturing Overhead $816,000

The manufacturing overhead figure presented above excludes $27,000 of sales commissions incurred by the firm. An examination of job-cost records revealed that 18 jobs were sold during the year at a total cost of $2,960,000. These goods were sold to customers for $3,720,000. Actual machine hours worked totaled 51,500, and Athens adjusts under- or overapplied overhead at year-end to Cost of Goods Sold.
Determine the amount of under/over applied overhead at year-end.
