1) If the company bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated amount of the
allocation base for the upcoming year, by how much was manufacturing overhead
underapplied or overapplied?
The management of Richbourg 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 63,000 machine-hours. In addition, capacity is
70,000 machine-hours and the actual level of activity for the year is 66,200
machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and is $2,866,500 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.
A.$87,232 Underapplied
B.$27,648 Underapplied
