Answer 1

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $0.2 per direct labor dollar

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor, $30,000

Factory overhead applied $6,000.

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

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

6,000= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*30,000

6,000 / 30,000 = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $0.2 per direct labor dollar
