Stones Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours to apply overhead to the manufacturing process. Last year, Stones incurred manufacturing overhead costs totaling $450,000 and used 100,000 machine-hours. This year, Stones estimated manufacturing overhead to be $550,000 and expected to incur 110,000 machine-hours. Stones actually incurred $575,000 of manufacturing overhead and incurred 120,000 machine-hours this year. What is the manufacturing overhead application rate

$5 per machine hour

Explanation:

Given the following :

Estimated manufacturing overhead cost = $550,000

Expected machine-hour to be incurred = 110,000

Actual manufacturing overhead = $575,000

Actual machine hour incurred = 120,000

The manufacturing overhead application rate:

Expected manufacturing overhead cost / Expected machine hour to be incurred

= $550,000 / 110,000 machine hour

= $5 per machine hour

1) the stages a new product goes through from beginning to end, i.e., the stages that a product passes through from introduction through growth, maturity, and decline. 2) the time from initial research and development to the time at which sales and support of the product to customers are withdrawn. 3) the period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably.
