20) The management of Bullinger 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 9,000
machine-hours. Capacity is 12,000 machine-hours and the actual level of activity for the year is
assumed to be 7,700 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and both the
estimated amount at the beginning of the year and the actual amount at the end of the year are
assumed to be $11,880 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.
