What is the Predetermined Overhead Rate for Bear Corp.?
Estimated direct labor-hours = 140,000
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead = $250,000
Variable manufacturing overhead = $3.25 per direct labor hour.
Predetermined Overhead Rate = Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor hour + Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead/Estimated direct labor-hours
= 3.25 + 250,000/140,000
= 3.25 + 1.79
= $5.04 per direct labor hour.
Predetermined Overhead Rate for Bear Corp. = $5.04 per direct labor hour
