Benson Corporation estimated its overhead costs would be $22,500 per month except for January when it pays the $153,120 annual
insurance premium on the manufacturing facility. Accordingly, the January overhead costs were expected to be $175,620 ($153,120 +
$22,500). The company expected to use 7,900 direct labor hours per month except during July, August, and September when the
company expected 9,100 hours of direct labor each month to build inventories for high demand that normally occurs during the
Christmas season. The company's actual direct labor hours were the same as the estimated hours. The company made 3,950 units of
product in each month except July, August, and September, in which it produced 4,550 units each month. Direct labor costs were
$24.70 per unit, and direct materials costs were $10.00 per unit.
Required
a. Calculate a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours.
b. Determine the total allocated overhead cost for January, March, and August.
c. Determine…
Hamilton Company applies manufacturing overhead costs to products based on direct labor hours. The company estimates
manufacturing overhead cost for the year to be $276,000 and direct labor hours to be 20,000. Actual overhead and actual direct labor
hours for the year were $325,000 and 24,600 hours, respectively.
Required:
1. Compute over- or underapplied overhead.
20. Which accounts will be affected by the over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead?
