At the beginning of 2010, Zuir Company’s accounting department calculated the following estimates for the coming year’s production:
| Estimated overhead | $441,600 |
| Direct labor hours | 9,200 hr |
During the year, Zuir Company experienced $440,000 in actual overhead costs and actually worked 9,100 direct labor hours. Zuir applies overhead to production using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours.
a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate Zuir uses to apply overhead. (Show your computations.)
b. By what amount was overhead over- or underapplied for 2010? (Show your computations.)
c. Assuming the amount of over- or underapplied overhead is not significant, will the Cost of Goods Sold account be increased or decreased to correct the application of overhead?

Denapasa Manufacturing leases a vacuum cleaning system for a basic monthly fee plus an additional cost per hour used above a given minimum for each month. Given below is the information for the most recent six-month period on the number of machine hours of use and the total cost under this lease.
| Month | Machine Hours | Total Cost |
| 7 | 6,300 | $58,200 |
| 8 | 4,400 | 49,935 |
| 9 | 4,700 | 52,390 |

Ditex is a manufacturer of digital cameras and is preparing production and sales forecasts for the coming fiscal year. The company needs to determine the point at which the projected sales revenue will equal the total of all fixed and variable costs. Fixed costs are estimated to be $314,390, and variable costs are expected to be maintained at $150 per camera. Each camera will sell for $299. Compute (a) the breakeven point in sales units and (b) the breakeven point in sales dollars.

A new product, an easy to store guitar stand, is being planned, with the following cost estimates: variable cost per unit, $9, and total fixed costs, $58,000. The projected sales price is $13 each.
a. Using the contribution margin approach, compute the number of units that must be sold to break even.
b. Using the same approach and assuming that fixed costs can be reduced by $8,000, how many units must be sold to produce a profit of $65,000?
c. Given the original information and the projection that 50,000 units can be sold, compute the selling price that the producer must use to obtain a profit of $150,000.
