The cost accountant estimated total factory overhead costs for the blending department would be $722,200 and total direct labor costs would be $628,000, resulting in a predetermined overhead rate of 115% based on direct labor costs. For February, actual direct labor was $54,000 and overhead incurred was $64,600. The journal entry to apply overhead would debit Work in Process for $62,100 and credit Factory Overhead for $64,600, leaving an underapplied balance of $2,500 in the Factory Overhead account.
