6) the management of hendren 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 10,000 machine-hours. in addition, capacity is 12,000 machine-hours and the
actual activity for the year is 10,100 machine-hours. all of the manufacturing overhead
is fixed and is $12,000 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 a76w, which
required 420 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 a76w 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.
7) the mohawk-hudson company is an electric utility which has two service
departments, accounting and maintenance. it has two operating departments, generation

the coming year are as follows:
the step-down method is used to allocate service department costs, with the accounting
department being allocated first.
the amount of accounting department costs allocated to the maintenance department
would be:
a.$0
b.$20,000
c.$19,048
d.$18,000

there was no inventory of materials on hand at the beginning of the period. during the
period, 21,120 yards of materials were purchased, all of which were used in production.
required:
a. for direct materials, compute the price and quantity variances for the period and
prepare journal entries to record all activity relating to direct materials for the period.
b. for direct labor, compute the rate and efficiency variances and prepare a journal entry
to record the incurrence of direct labor cost for the period.
c. for variable overhead, compute the rate and efficiency variances.
9) bob is a quality inspector on the assembly line of a manufacturing company. he is
paid $16 per hour for regular time and time and a half for all work in excess of 40 hours

but is idle for 2 hours due to material shortages. the company treats all fringe benefits
relating to direct labor as added direct labor cost and the remainder as part of
manufacturing overhead. the allocation of bob's wages and fringe benefits for the week
between direct labor cost and manufacturing overhead would be:
a.choice a
b.choice b
c.choice c
d.choice d
