1.
Compute the predetermined overhead rate for Corporation SB.
Explanation of Solution
Predetermined Overhead Rate: Predetermined overhead rate is a measure used to allocate the estimated manufacturing overhead cost to the products or job orders during a particular period. This is generally evaluated at the beginning of each reporting period. The evaluation takes into account the estimated manufacturing overhead cost and the estimated allocation base that includes direct labor hours, direct labor in dollars, machine hours and direct materials.
Compute the predetermined overhead rate for Corporation SB.
Thus, the predetermined overhead rate for Corporation SB is $21 per direct-labor hour.
