Answer:
d) $38,000 Debit balance.
Explanation:
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated Total Overhead Costs / Estimated Direct Labor Costs
= $472000 / $2,360,000
= 0.2
= 20% of direct labor costs.
Applied overheads = (20%*Actual direct labor costs)
Applied overheads = 20% * $1,980,000
Applied overheads = $396,000
So, Overhead under-applied = $434,000 - $396,000 = $38,000 (Debit)
