1Step 1: Predetermined overhead allocation rate

Predeterrmined allocation overhead rate=Total estimated Overhead costTotal estimated Labour hours of the overhead allocation base                                                                               =$500,00010,000                                                                                =$50

2Step 2: Manufacturing overhead allocation during the year

allocated manufacturing  overhead =Predeterrmined allocation overhead rate×Annual labor hours of the allocation base                                                                               =$50×$10,500                                                                                =$525,000

3Step 3: Underallocated or overallocated overhead

Under allocated  overhead =Actual manufacturing overhead × allocated  manufacturing overhead                                                                               =$550,000×$525,500                                                                                =$25,000
