Amberjack Company is trying to decide on an allocation base to use to assign manufacturing overhead to jobs. The company has always used direct labor hours to assign manufacturing overhead to products, but it is trying to decide whether it should use a different allocation base such as direct labor dollars or machine hours. Actual and estimated data for manufacturing overhead, direct labor cost, direct labor hours, and machine hours for the most recent fiscal year are summarized here: Manufacturing overhead cost Direct labor cost Direct labor hours Machine hours Estimated Value $ 601,000 $ 403,000 17, 200 hours 8, 200 hours Actual Value $ 662,000 $ 457,000 18,700 hours 9,200 hours Required: 1. Based on the company's current allocation base (direct labor hours), compute the following: a. Predetermined overhead rate. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Applied manufacturing overhead. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) c. Over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) 2. If the company had used direct labor dollars instead of direct labor hours) as its allocation base, compute the following: a. Predetermined overhead rate. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places, i.e. 3.63%) b. Applied manufacturing overhead. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) c. Over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) 3. If the company had used machine hours (instead of direct labor hours) as its allocation base, compute the following: a. Predetermined overhead rate. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Applied manufacturing overhead. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) c. Over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) 4. Based on last year's data alone, which allocation base would have provided the most accurate measure for applying manufacturing overhead costs to production? 1a. Predetermined Overhead Rate $ 34.94 per direct labor hour Underapplied by 1b. Applied Manufacturing Overhead 1c. Manufacturing Overhead 2a. Predetermined Overhead Rate 26. Applied Manufacturing Overhead 2c. Manufacturing Overhead % of direct labor cost Overapplied by $ 3a. Predetermined Overhead Rate 73.29 per machine hour 3b. Applied Manufacturing Overhead 3c. Manufacturing Overhead Overapplied by 4. Most accurate measure Direct Labor Hours
