PA2-7 (Algo) Selecting an Allocation Base and Analyzing Manufacturing Overhead [LO 2-3, 2-5] Amberjack Company is trying to decide on an allocation base to use to assign manufacturing overhead tojobs. 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: Estimated Value Actual Value Manufacturing overhead cost $ 662,666 $ 663,666 Direct labor cost $ 464,666 $ 458,666 Direct labor hours 17,366 hours 18,866 hours Machine hours 8,366 hours 9,366 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 ofdirect 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? Predetermined Overhead Rate per direct labor hour Applied Manufacturing Overhead 10. Manufacturing Overhead nderapplied by 2a. Predetermined Overhead Rate % of direct labor cost C 2 _ l l l
