Fusaro Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate base on machine-hours that it recalculates at the beginning of each year. The company has provided the following data for the most recent year. Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead from the
beginning of the year $ 684,000
Estimated activity level from the beginning of the year 40,000 machine-hours
Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 616,000
Actual activity level 37,700 machine-hours
The amount of manufacturing overhead that would have been applied to all jobs during the period is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Fusaro Corporation

The amount of manufacturing overhead that would have been applied to all jobs during the period is closest to:

a) $644,670

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead from the

beginning of the year = $684,000

Estimated activity level from the beginning of the year = 40,000 machine-hours

Predetermined overhead rate = $17.10 ($684,000/40,000) per machine hour

Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead = $616,000

Actual activity level = 37,700 machine-hours

Applied overhead during the period = Actual activity level Multiplied by the Predetermined Overhead Rate

= $644,670 (37,700 * $17.10)

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'
