If overhead is over absorbed, this means that fewer actual overhead costs were incurred than expected, so that more cost is applied to cost objects than were actually incurred. This means that the recognition of expense is reduced in the current period, which increases profits. For example, if the overhead rate is predetermined to be $20 per direct labor hour consumed, but the actual amount should have been $18 per hour, then the $2 difference is considered to be over absorbed overhead.
