Compute the predetermined overhead rate assuming that Tiger Furnishings uses direct labor-hours to allocate overhead costs. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer)
Calculation of predetermined overhead rate using direct labor hours
Predetermined overhead rate = Total Manufacturing overhead costs/ Total direct labor hours
= $ 220,350/ 6,500 direct labor hours
= $ 33.90 per direct labor hour
Therefore predetermined overhead rate is $ 33.90 per direct labor hour.
