2) the management of haigler corporation would like to investigate the possibility of
basing its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity. the company'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 64,000 machine-hours. in addition, capacity is 80,000
machine-hours and the actual level of activity for the year is 66,300 machine-hours. all
of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and is $3,788,800 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 company bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated amount of the
allocation base for the upcoming year, the predetermined overhead rate is closest to:
a.$59.20
b.$47.36
c.$57.15
d.$53.82

supplies for the month was $4,850.
