Macklin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $13,500,000 with 500,000 total machine hours. Year to date, the actual overhead is $14,000,000 and the actual machine hours are 530,000 hours. If Macklin Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours for applying overhead, as of this point in time (year to date), the overhead is

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Macklin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $13,500,000 with 500,000 total machine hours.

Year to date, the actual overhead is $14,000,000 and the actual machine hours are 530,000 hours.

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 13,500,000/500,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $27 per machine-hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 27*530,000= 14,310,000

Finally, the under/over allocated overhead:

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 14,000,000 - 14,310,000

Under/over applied overhead= 310,000 overallocated

rational decision making is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. the process of rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. the word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.

hope this

wheres the chart? so i can answer.
