| | | Managerial Accounting The controller for Tender Bird Poultry, Inc. Estimates that the companys fixed overhead is $150,000 per year. She also has determined that the variable overhead is approximately $.15 per chicken raised and sold. Since the firm has a single product, overhead is applied on the basis of output units, chickens raised and sold.
Required:
1. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate under each of the following output predictions: 100,000 chickens, 200,000 chickens, and 300,000 chickens.
2. Does the predetermined overhead rate change in proportion to the change in predicted production? Why? | | |  | New Member | |

Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing-overhead cost/
Budgeted amount of cost driver (or activity base)
150,000/100,000 = 1.5
150,000/200,000 = .75
150,000/300,000 = .50 | | |  | Uber Member | |

| | | That's a start but you still need to add the .15 per chicken, given that all those answers are per chicken. | | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | Add your answer here.
