The manufacturing overhead budget at Polich Corporation is based on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 9,200 direct labor-hours will be required in February. The variable overhead rate is $9.80 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $104,880 per month, which includes depreciation of $18,200. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The company recomputes its predetermined overhead rate every month.
The predetermined overhead rate for February should be:

a) $21.20 per direct labor-hour
b) $9.80 per direct labor-hour
c) $11.40 per direct labor-hour
d) $18.90 per direct labor-hour

Respuesta :

Answer:

$21.20

Explanation:

The computation of overhead rate for February is shown below:-

For computing the Predetermined overhead rate firstly we need to compute the Fixed manufacturing overhead per direct labor hour

Fixed manufacturing overhead per direct labor hour = Total manufacturing overhead ÷ Total direct labor hours

= $104,880 ÷ 9,200

= $11.40

Predetermined overhead rate = Variable overhead rate + Fixed manufacturing overhead rate

= $9.80 + $11.40

= $21.20
