Problem: At the beginning of the current year, Garber Corporation estimated that its manufacturing overhead would be $532,000 and the activity level would be 23,000 machine-hours. The level of activity at capacity is 40,000 machine-hours. The actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $504,900 and the actual level of activity was 23,100 machine-hours.
Assume for the purposes of this question only that the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $532,000 and was entirely fixed. If the company bases its predetermined overhead rate on machine-hours at capacity, then the cost of unused capacity reported on the income statement would have been:
- $16,900
- $224,770
- $201,670
- $219,430
