Answer 1

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $33.33 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Next year, the company anticipates total overhead costs of $2.5 million.

Estimated direct labor hours= 75,000

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= 2,500,000/75,000
