Stanford enterprises has provided its manufacturing estimated and actual data for the year end. the controller has asked you to compute the predetermined overhead rate, the schedule of cost of goods manufactured, and the schedule of cost of goods sold. use the information included in the excel simulation and the excel functions described below to complete the task.

Answer 1

Answer:

Predetermined Overhead Rate = $11 per labor hour

Explanation:

The predetermined Overhead rate for Stanford Enterprise is calculated by dividing the estimated manufacturing overheads with estimated total direct labor hours.

Actual manufacturing overhead = $302,750

Actual direct labor hours = 27,760 hours

Estimated/ budgeted labor hours = 25,000 hours

budgeted manufacturing overheads = $275,000

Predetermined OH rate = $275,000 / 25,000 = $11 per hour

Actual OH rate = $302,750 / 27,760 hours = $10.91 per hour
