Answer 1

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $240 per order

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Ordering and Receiving Orders $ 120,000 500 orders

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing 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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 120,000/500

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $240 per order
