The management of Bullinger 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 9,000 machine-hours. Capacity is 12,000 machine-hours and the actual level of activity for the year is assumed to be 7,700 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 $11,880 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.If the company bases its predetermined overhead rate on capacity, what would be the cost of unused capacity reported on the income statement prepared for internal management purposes?

The manufacturing overhead applied to Job L is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Which of the following statements about using a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor is correct?

Werger Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours (DLHs). The company has two products, W82R and L48S, about which it has provided the following data: The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $3,293,458 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 73,520. The company is considering using a variation of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below: Required:a. Determine the unit product cost of each of the company's two products under the traditional costing system.b. Determine the unit product cost of each of the company's two products under activity-based costing system.(For all requirements, round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

The management of Kotek 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 8,000 machine-hours.
