13. DISPOSINGOF OVERAPPLIED & UNDERAPPLIED FACTORY OVERHEAD • A credit balance in the Factory Overhead account indicates that applied factory overhead is more than actual factory overhead • The amount by which applied factory overhead is more than actual factory overhead is called overapplied overhead • An example of a journal entry to close overapplied factory overhead is: • Two reason for overapplied or underapplied overhead • Actual expenses may be higher or lower than normal, which requires closer control over expenditures • Factory overhead applied rate may be inaccurate – requires a revised rate LESSON 20-1

14.
