    Hi,

    I have a doubt regarding the journal entries for over and under absorption.
    Now Overhead Absorption Rate is based on the Budgeted Level of Activity. That is
    OAR = Budgeted Expenditure / Budgeted Activity. Now the OAR is multiplied with the actual Activity to get the Actual Expenditure.
    Now considering the T Account i found in the Book for the Production overhead accoutn

    Production Overhead Account
    ____________________________________
    Debit | Credit
    Labor 6000$ | Work in Progress 27000$
    Materials 5000$ | Under absorbed 2000$
    Expenses 18000$ |

    Total 29000 29000

    Now i understand that the Work in Progress is the amount absorbed based on the actual activity. But is the Debit side the expenditure based on the budget activity.?
