If an allocated indirect cost is $1500 and actual incurred indirect cost is $1200, then this is classified as

applied indirect cost
applied direct cost
incurred indirect cost
over allocated indirect cost

The correct answer is D. over allocated indirect cost.

An allocated indirect cost is a cost that is assigned to a cost object, such as a product or service, based on a predetermined allocation base. The actual incurred indirect cost is the actual cost of the indirect costs incurred during a period.

In this case, the allocated indirect cost is $1500 and the actual incurred indirect cost is $1200. This means that the company has over allocated indirect costs by $300. This can happen if the allocation base is not accurate or if the actual costs are higher than expected.

Applied indirect cost is a cost that is assigned to a cost object based on the actual usage of the cost object. Applied direct cost is a cost that is directly associated with the production of a product or service. Incurred direct cost is the actual cost of the direct costs incurred during a period.

I hope this helps!
