Question

CWN Company uses a job order costing system and last period incurred $82,000 of actual overhead and $100,000 of direct labor. CWN estimates that its overhead next period will be $73,000. It also expects to incur $100,000 of direct labor. If CWN bases applied overhead on direct labor cost, its predetermined overhead rate for the next period should be:

Answer 1

the predetermined overhead rate is 65%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below;

The Predetermined overhead rate

= Expected overhead ÷ expected total direct labour cost

= $73,000 ÷ $100,000

= 0.73

= 65%

hence, the predetermined overhead rate is 65%

The same would be considered and relevant
