Answer:
predetermined overhead per direct labor hour: $11.02
Explanation:
To solve for overhead rate we determinate the expected cost and distribute them over a cost driver which is, in this case; direct labor hours
<u>Expected overhead cost:</u>
Machinery maintenance $ 181,350
Utilities $ 226,380
Supervision $ 191,000
Materials handling cost $ 67,000
Building occupancy costs $ 98,270
Indirect materials $<u> 31,650 </u>
Total overhead: $ 795,650
Total direct labor: 72,000
Overhead rate: 795,650 / 72,000 = 11.0206944= $11.02
