Answer to Problem 1AE

Solution:

    Particulars Amount
    Estimated manufacturing overhead cost $300,000
    Estimated total amount of the allocation base 60,000 Machine hours
    Predetermined over head rate $5 Per machine hour
    Computation of under applied or over applied of
    Manufacturing overhead cost
    Particulars
    Actual manufacturing overhead cost $290,000
    Manufacturing overhead cost applied to work:
    Predetermined over head rate $5 Per machine hour
    Actual total amount of allocation base 68,000 Machine hours
    Manufacturing over head applied $340,000
    (Over applied) manufacturing overhead cost ($50,000)

Formula:

   Predetermined over rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead cost / Estimated total                                                amount of the allocation base.  Over applied formula = Actual manufacturing over head is less than estimated                                            manufacturing over head applied.

Explanation of Solution

Explanations:

  $300,000/ 60,000=$5 per machine hour Actual manufacturing over head Predetermined over rate =$290,000  Estimated manufacturing over head applied =68000 machines hours*$5 per machine hour =$340,000$290,000  $340,000 = $50,000  Company has over applied the manufacturing overhead because actual overhead  is less than estimated applied, it resulted to over applied by $50,000.  

Yes, estimated manufacturing overhead applied has changed due to estimated allocation base decreased it lead predetermined rate to increased by $1 that lead to over applied the manufacturing over head.

Old predetermined rate is $300,000 / 75,000=$4: New predetermined rate is $300,000/ 60000=$5=$1 increased

Conclusion

Above calculations stated manufacturing overhead has over applied.
