10) The management of Hannan 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 12,000 machine-hours. In addition, capacity is 15,000 machine-hours and the
actual activity for the year is 12,100 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead
is fixed and is $21,600 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 amount of the allocation base at capacity.
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.
