Predermined Overhead Rate=Estimated Overhead/Allocation base

Four steps Predermined Overhead rate:

1) Estimated the overhead for the production period. These budgeted estimated helps to plan the future manufacturing cost.

2) Choose or select the appropriate allocation base. These allocation base may be Direct Labor, Direct Labor cost, Machine Hour etc.

3) Choose the cost driver for the production period.

4) Uset the Formula for predermined overhead, divide the Overhead with the Cost Driver. Cost Driver may be Direct Labor, direct Labor cost ,Machine Hours etc.

For Example:

ABC Company

Direct Mateial	5000
Direct Labor	6000
Store Manager Salaries	3000
Factory Rent	5000
Depreciation on Machinery used in factory	2000
Direct Labor Hours	5000

1) Estimated the Overhead Cost=Stores Manager Salaries+Factory Rent+Depreciation=($3000+$2000+$5000)=$10000

2) Allocation Base given=Direct Labor Hours

3) Direct Labor Hours=5000

4) $10000/5000=2 per direct labor hour
