Solutions

Expert Solution

Calculation of Estimated Manufacturing overhead

Estimated Manufacturing overhead = Salary of production supervisor + Indirect materials + Rent on factory equipment

=$35,000 + $5,000 + $16,000

=$56,000

Calculation of Predetermined overhead rate

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead / Estimated machine hours

=$56,000 / $16,000

=$3.50 machine per hour

Predetermined overhead rate = $3.50 machine per hour
