Danaher Woodworking Corporation produces fine furniture. The company uses a job-order costing system in which its predetermined overhead rate is based on capacity. The capacity of the factory is determined by the capacity of its constraint, which is an automated lathe. Additional information is provided below for the most recent month: Estimates at the beginning of the month: Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 36,400 Capacity of the lathe 400 hours Actual results: Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 36,400 Actual hours of lathe use 380 hours Required: a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on capacity. b. Calculate the manufacturing overhead applied. c. Calculate the cost of unused capacity.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on capacity.

  • $91 per lathe hour

b. Calculate the manufacturing overhead applied.

  • $34,580

c. Calculate the cost of unused capacity.

  • $1,820

Explanation:

Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $36,400

Capacity of the lathe 400 hours

predetermined overhead rate per lathe hour = $36,400 / 400 = $91

actual results:

Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $36,400

Actual hours of lathe use 380 hours

applied overhead = $91 x 380 lathe hours = $34,580

cost of unused capacity = $36,400 - $34,580 = $1,820
