Exercise 15-15 Factory overhead computed, applied, and adjusted LO P3, P4

In December 2016, Custom Mfg. established its predetermined overhead rate for jobs produced during 2017 by using the following cost predictions: overhead costs, $440,000, and direct materials costs, $200,000. At year-end 2017, the company’s records show that actual overhead costs for the year are $1,133,400. Actual direct material cost had been assigned to jobs as follows.

Jobs completed and sold	$	380,000
Jobs in finished goods inventory		81,000
Jobs in work in process inventory		50,000
Total actual direct materials cost	$	511,000

1. Determine the predetermined overhead rate for 2017.
