Answer:

Manufacturing overhead applied = $85,000 * 130%

Manufacturing overhead applied = $110,500

Under/Over-applied overhead = Manufacturing overhead - Actual overhead

Under/Over-applied overhead = $110,500 - $115,000

Under-applied overhead = $4,500

Hence, the Under applied manufacturing overhead is $4500
