Question 1:
1. The management of Rathburn 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 43,000
machine-hours. In addition, capacity is 47,000 machinehours
and the actual activity for the year is 42,600
machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is
fixed and is $848,820 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. Job F31I, which required 310
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.
