Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Estimated annual overhead cost = $1,200,000

Actual annual overhead cost = $1,150,000

Estimated machine hours = 300,000

Actual machine hours = 280,000

Overhead Applied:

= (Estimated annual overhead cost ÷ Estimated machine hours) × Actual machine hours

= ($1,200,000 ÷ 300,000) × 280,000

= $1,120,000

Overhead over applied:

= Actual annual overhead cost - Overhead Applied

= $1,150,000 - $1,120,000

= $30,000
