The management of Atlas Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its
predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity rather than on the estimated amount
of activity for the year. 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 19,000 machine–
hours. In addition, capacity is 21,000 machine-hours and the actual activity for the year is
18,200 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and is $71,820 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 and the actual amount of
manufacturing overhead for the year.
Required:
a. Determine the predetermined overhead rate if the predetermined overhead rate is
based on the estimated amount of the allocation base.
b. Determine the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year if the predetermined
overhead rate is based on the estimated amount of the allocation base.
c. Determine the predetermined overhead rate if the predetermined overhead rate is based
on the amount of the allocation base at capacity.
d. Determine the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year if the predetermined
overhead rate is based on the amount of the allocation base at capacity.

The management of Grainger Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of
basing its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity rather than on the
estimated amount of activity for the year. 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 48,000 machine-hours. In addition, capacity is 53,000 machine-hours and the actual
activity for the year is 47,700 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed
and is $1,144,800 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
and the actual amount of manufacturing overhead for the year. Job SUA–600, which
required 40 machine-hours, is one of the jobs worked on during the year.
Required:
a. Determine the predetermined overhead rate if the predetermined overhead rate is
based on the estimated amount of the allocation base.
b. Determine how much overhead would be applied to Job SUA–600 if the predetermined
overhead rate is based on estimated amount of the allocation base.
c. Determine the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year if the predetermined
overhead rate is based on the estimated amount of the allocation base.
d. Determine the predetermined overhead rate if the predetermined overhead rate is
based on the amount of the allocation base at capacity.
e. Determine how much overhead would be applied to Job SUA-600 if the predetermined
overhead rate is based on the amount of the allocation base at capacity.
f. Determine the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year if the predetermined
overhead rate is based on the amount of the allocation base at capacity.

The management of Royal Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing
its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity rather than on the estimated
amount of activity for the year. 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
70,000 machine-hours. In addition, capacity is 82,000 machine-hours and the actual
activity for the year is 72,900 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed
and is $4,132,800 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
and the actual amount of manufacturing overhead for the year. Job 706H, which required
300 machine-hours, is one of the jobs worked on during the year.
Required:
a. Determine the predetermined overhead rate if the predetermined overhead rate is
based on the amount of the allocation base at capacity.
b. Determine how much overhead would be applied to Job 706H if the predetermined
overhead rate is based on the amount of the allocation base at capacity.
c. Determine the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year if the predetermined
overhead rate is based on the amount of the allocation base at capacity.

The management of Philly Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its
predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity rather than on the estimated amount
of activity for the year. 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 37,000 machine–
hours. In addition, capacity is 46,000 machine-hours and the actual activity for the year is
36,900 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and is $697,820 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 and the actual amount of
manufacturing overhead for the year.
Required:
a. Determine the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year if the predetermined
overhead rate is based on the estimated amount of the allocation base.
b. Determine the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year if the predetermined
overhead rate is based on the amount of the allocation base at capacity.
