Problem:
Medusa Products uses a job-order costing system. Overhead costs are applied to jobs on the basis of machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, management estimated that the company would work 87,400 machine-hours and incur $279,680 in manufacturing overhead costs for the year.
Required:
Question 1: Compute the company's predetermined overhead rate. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Question 2: Assume that during the year the company actually worked only 81,200 machine-hours and incurred $272,000 of manufacturing overhead costs. Compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year.
Note: Be sure to show how you arrived at your answer.
