12) If the company bases its predetermined overhead rate on capacity, by how much
was manufacturing overhead underapplied or overapplied?
The management of Wray 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 68,000 machine-hours. In addition, capacity is
79,000 machine-hours and the actual level of activity for the year is 63,500
machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and is $3,384,360 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.$664,020 Underapplied
B.$223,965 Overapplied
C.$664,020 Overapplied
D.$223,965 Underapplied
