The management of Blue Ocean Company estimates that 50,000 machine-hours will be required to support the production planned for the year. It also estimates $300,000 of total fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming year and $4 of variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour. What is the predetermined overhead rate?
$10.00 per machine hour 1) $300,000 + (50,000 x 4) = 500,000 2) 500,000 / 50,000 = $10 per machine hour
Harris Fabrics computes its plantwide predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 43,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period's estimated level of production. The company also estimated $527,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $3.00 per direct labor-hour. Harris's actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year was $728,878 and its actual total direct labor was 43,500 hours. Compute the company's plantwide predetermined overhead rate for the year.
$15.26 per DLH 1) $527,000 + (43,000 x 3) = 656,000 2) 656,000 / 43,000 = $15.26 per DLH
