Case company allocates $5 overhead to each unit produced. the company uses a plantwide overhead rate with machine hours as the allocation base. given the amounts below, how many machine hours does the company expect in department 2?

Let Department 2 Machine hours Be x, and using the equation below. 

Find  ATQ :

          5= (440000 + 245000) / (74000 + x)

          => 370000 + 5x = 685000

          =>x = 63000

Therefore, there are 63,000 machine hours that the company expects in Department 2.

since the options are not listed, when you are working on your budget you should also add water, tv, internet, miscellaneous and your 'fun' money for in your budget. when budgeting, you need to allow for fun money, and mis/accidental money so that you stick to the budget and not go crazy because you feel strapped to the budget.

true basically. have an awesome day ya'll.
