Answer:

Pinacle Corp.

Pinacle's plantwide factory overhead rate for the current year is:

= $7 per machine hour.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Budgeted overhead cost for the current year = $350,000

Actual overhead costs for the year = $325,000

Plantwide allocation base, machine hours = 50,000

Actual machine hours = 40,000

Budgeted production units = 10,000

Actual production units = 9,800

The plantwide factory overhead rate for the current year is:

= Budgeted overhead cost/Budgeted machine hours

= $350,000/50,000 = $7 per machine hour

Allocated overhead = 40,000 * $7 = $280,000

Under-absorbed overhead = $45,000 ($325,000 - $280,000)
