Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated direct labor hours= 135,000

Estimated varaible overhead= $337,500

Estimated fixed overhead= $540,000

To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Variable:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 337,500/135,000= $2.5 per direct labor hour

Fixed:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 540,000/135,000= $4 per direct labor hour

Triss [41]

Answer: Degree of Operating Leverage

A Tech = 2.75

Z Tech = 3

Explanation:

As defined in question itself,

Degree of Operating Leverage = $1 + \frac{fixed\ cost}{Profit}$

As here, it is provided that profit for both the companies are same amounting $4 million.

Although the fixed cost differ by $1 million.

A Tech Degree of operating Leverage = 1 + $\frac{7,000,000}{4,000,000}$ = 2.75

Z Tech Degree of Operating Leverage = 1 + $\frac{8,000,000}{4,000,000}$ = 3

This clearly demonstrates that A Tech will reach its break even faster than the Z Tech as the ratio of fixed cost to variable cost is lower in A tech in comparison to Z Tech.
