Answer:

$6,000 underapplied

Explanation:

The computation of the amount overapplied or under applied is shown below:-

Amount applied = Applied manufacturing overhead - (Indirect materials + Indirect labor + other OH costs incurred )

= $218,000 - {($84,000 - $72,000) + ($108,000 - $105,000) + $197,000 }

= $218,000 $12,000 + $3,000 + $197,000

= $218,000 - $212,000

= $6,000

Therefore for computing the amount under applied we simply applied the above formula.
