A company uses job-order costing with manufacturing overhead (MOH) applied on the basis of machine hours (MHS). In the past, the company's pre- determined overhead rate (POHR) has fluctuated from period to period due primarily to differences in the expected usage of their machine. For this period, the machine has a capacity of 450 MHs, but based on anticipated production, only 375 MHs are expected to be required. The company's MOH is relatively fixed, estimated at $11,250 for both levels of MHs. At the end of the period, actual production used 386 MHs and total actual MOH amounted to $10,500. How much less MOH would be applied during the month using capacity MHs rather than the traditional method? Multiple Choice

Kirsten believes her company's overhead costs are driven (affected) by the number of direct labor hours because the production process is very labor intensive. During the period, the company produced 4,600 units of Product A requiring a total of 760 labor hours and 2,100 units of Product B requiring a total of 160 labor hours. What allocation rate should be used if the company incurs overhead costs of $14,720?

As an assistant cost accountant for Mississippi Industries, you have been assigned to re- view the activity base for the predetermined factory overhead rate. The president, Tony Favre, has expressed concern that the over- or underapplied overhead has fluctuated excessively over the years. An analysis of the company's operations and use of the current overhead rate (direct labor cost) has narrowed the possible alternative overhead bases to direct labor cost and machine hours. For the past five years, the following data have been gathered: 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 $ 790,000 777,000 $ 13,000 $ 870,000 $ 935,000 $ 760,000 777,000 $ (17,000) Actual overhead $ 845,000 Applied overhead (Over-) underapplied overhead 882,000 924,000 840,000 $ (12,000) $ 11,000 24 5,000 Direct labor cost $3,885,000 $4,410,000 $4,620,000 $4,200,000 $3,885,000 Machine hours 93,000 104,000 111,000 100,400 91,600

Luzadis Company makes furniture using the latest automated technology. The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $814,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 74,000 machine-hours.
