<h3>What is the predetermined overhead rate?</h3>
The predetermined overhead rate is the quotient of the estimated overhead costs divided by the estimated cost driver units.
The estimated cost driver units are the allocation base for the overhead.
The predetermined overhead rate allocates manufacturing overhead costs to cost objects (product or service units).
<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>
Estimated overhead costs = $616,000
Estimated professional hours for the year = 22,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $28 ($616,000/22,000)
<h3>Total Billing:</h3>
Direct materials $ 48,000
Direct professional hours ($55/hour) 1,700 = $93,500 (1,700 x $55)
Overhead = $47,600 (2,700 x $28)
Total cost = $189,100
Markup =283,650 ($189,100 x 1.5)
Total billing = $472,750
Thus, the total amount that Norton will send Central Texas bank is <u>$472,750</u>.
