Data    
Allocation base Machine-hours  
Estimated manufacturing overhead cost $416,000  
Estimated total amount of the allocation base 64,000 machine-hours
Actual manufacturing overhead cost $403,800  
Actual total amount of the allocation base 69,000 machine-hours
 

 

If your formulas are correct, you should get the correct answers to the following questions.

 

(a) What is the Predetermined overhead rate? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

 

 


(b) By how much is the manufacturing overhead underapplied or overapplied?

 

 


 

 

 

Change the estimated total amount of the allocation base to 65,000 machine-hours, but keep everything the same as in Requirement 2. The data area of your worksheet should now look like this:

  • The change in the estimated total amount of the allocation base affected the predetermined overhead rate.
  • The change in the estimated total amount of the allocation base affected the amount of manufacturing overhead applied.
  • Actual manufacturing overhead cost differs from period to period.
  • The estimated manufacturing overhead cost did not change in proportion to the change in the estimated total amount of the allocation base.unanswered
