Question

3.5-33 Question Help Hiltop Manufacturing uses a predetermined manufacturing overhead rate based on machine hours to allocate manufacturing overhead to jobs. Selected data aboutth company's operations follows: Actual manufacturing overhead cost Estimated manufacturing overhead cost Estimated direct labor cost Estimated direct labor hours Actual direct labor hours Estimated machine hours Actual machine hours $500,000 $550,000 $175,800 50,500 60,700 40,600 35.800 By how much was manufacturing overhead overallocated or underallocated for the year? (Round intermediary calculations to the nearest cent.) OA. $14,910 overallocated O B. $64,910 underallocated C. $14,910 underallocated D. S64.910 overallocated

Explanation / Answer

(1)

Estimated manufacturing overhead cost = $550,000

Estimated machine hours = 40,600

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead cost/Estimated machine hours

= 550,000/40,600

= $13.55 per machine hour

Actual machine hours = 35,800

Manufacturing overhead allocated to job = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate x Actual machine hours

= 35,800 x 13.55

= $485,090

Actual manufacturing overhead cost = $500,000

Hence, manufacturing overhead under allocated = Actual manufacturing overhead cost - Manufacturing overhead allocated to job

= 500,000 - 485,090

= $14,910

Hence correct option is (c)

(2)

Estimated direct labor hours =200,900

Estimated manufacturing overhead cost = $920,000

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead cost/Estimated direct labor hours

= 920,000/200,900

= $4.58 per direct labor hour

Actual manufacturing overhead cost = $970,500

Actual direct labor hours x Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = Allocated manufacturing overhead cost

Actual direct labor hours x 4.58 = 1,012,100

Hence, Actual direct labor hours = 1,012,100/4.58

= 220,983

Hence,correct option is (c)

Kindly give a positive rating if you are satisfied with the answer. Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.Thanks.
