Exam 2: Job-Order Costing: Calculating Unit Product Costs

The management of Featheringham 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 58,400 machine-hours. Capacity is 71,400 machine-hours and the actual level of activity for the year is assumed to be 55,400 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and both the estimated amount at the beginning of the year and the actual amount at the end of the year are assumed to be $2,836,008 per year.
