Golden Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year, the estimated direct labor-hours were 22,700 hours. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 21,500 hours, the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $557,740, and manufacturing overhead for the year was underapplied by $24,540. The estimated manufacturing overhead at the beginning of the year used in the predetermined overhead rate must have been:
$552,520.
$583,366.
$533,200.
$562,960.
Actual manufacturing overhead | 557,740 | ||||||
manufacturing overhead under applied | -24,540 | ||||||
Manufacturing overhead applied | 533,200 | ||||||
Applied manufacturing overhead = overhead rate * actual hrs | |||||||
533,200 = x *21500 | |||||||
x = 533200/21500 | |||||||
24.8 | |||||||
predetermined overhead rate = estimated MOH/estimated direct labor hrs | |||||||
24.8 = x/22700 | |||||||
x = 24.8*22700 | |||||||
