Buker Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. Data for the upcoming year appear below:
Estimated machine-hours 74,000
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead $7.67 per machine hour
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $1,630,960
The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:
A) $22.04
B) $29.59
C) $7.67
D) $29.71
D) $29.71
Estimated total manufacturing overhead = $1,630,960 + ($7.67 per machine-hour × 74,000 machine-hours) = $2,198,540Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $2,198,540 ÷ 74,000 machine-hours = $29.71 per machine-hour
Answer: D) $29.71
Estimated total manufacturing overhead = $1,630,960 + ($7.67 per machine-hour × 74,000 machine-hours) = $2,198,540Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $2,198,540 ÷ 74,000 machine-hours = $29.71 per machine-hour

Hibshman Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the Corporation estimated the machine-hours for the upcoming year at 10,000 machine-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $6.82 per machine-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $230,200.

A) $29.84 per machine-hour
B) $23.15 per machine-hour
C) $23.02 per machine-hour
D) $6.82 per machine-hour
Answer: A) $29.84
Estimated total manufacturing overhead = $230,200 + ($6.82 per machine-hour × 10,000 machine-hours) = $298,400Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $298,400 ÷ 10,000 machine-hours = $29.84 per machine-hour
