III. | Manufacturing Overhead Costs estimated | $ 500,000 | |||
Direct Labor Hours estimated | 50,000 | ||||
Machine Hours estimated | 250,000 | ||||
Direct Labor Costs estimated | $ 1,000,000 | ||||
Determine the Pre-determined Overhead rate based on the following: | |||||
a | Direct Labor Hours | ||||
b | Machine Hours | ||||
c | Direct Labor Cost |
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead cost/Estimated total units in the allocation base
a) Predetermined overhead rate based on Direct labour hours
Estimated Manufacturing overheads = 500,000$
Estimated Direct labour Hours = 50,000 hours
Predetermined overhead rate based on direct labour hours = Estimated manufacturing overhead cost/Esimated Direct labour hours
= 500,000/50,000
=$10 per direct labour hours
B) Predetermined overhead rate based on Machine hours
Estimated Manufacturing overheads = 500,000$
Estimated Machine Hours = 250,000 hours
Predetermined overhead rate based on Machine hours = Estimated manufacturing overhead cost/Estimated Machine hours
= 500,000$/250,000
=$2 per machine hours
c)Predetermined overhead rate based on Direct labour cost
Predetermined overhead rate based on Direct labout cost = Estimated manufacturing overhead cost/Estimated Direct labour cost
Estimated Manufacturing overheads = 500,000$
Estimated Direct labour coast= 100000 $
=500000/100000
=$5 per labour cost
