Question
The management of Digges Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity. The Corporation's controller has provided an example to illustrate how this new system would work. In this example, the allocation base is machine hours and the estimated amount of the allocation base for the upcoming year is 51,000 machine-hours. In addition, capacity is 63,000 machine-hours and the actual level of activity for the year is 53300 machine hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and is $1,702.890 per year. For simplicity, it is assumed that this is the estimated manufacturing overhead for the year as well as the manufacturing overhead at capacity. It is further assumed that this is also the actual amount of manufacturing overhead for the year. If the Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on capacity, by how much was manufacturing overhead underapplied or overapplied? $262,191 Overapplied $76,797 Underapplied $76,797 Overapplied $262,191 UnderappliedExplanation / Answer
Manufacturing overhead applied = $1702890/51000 x 53300
= $1779687
Overapplied overheads = 1779687 - 1702890
= 76797
Thus answer will be C. $76,797 Overapplied
