Kirsten believes her company's overhead costs are driven (affected) by the number of direct labor hours because the production process is very labor intensive. During the period, the company produced 5,000 units of Product A requiring a total of 1,600 labor hours and 2,500 units of Product B requiring a total of 400 labor hours. What allocation rate should be used if the company incurs overhead costs of $20,000

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product A:

Direct labor hours= 1,600

Product B:

Direct labor hours= 400

Estimated overhead= $20,000

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 20,000/2,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10 per direct labor hour
