Answer 1

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate (A2)= $11.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total Activity

Activity Cost Pools Total Cost Total

Activity 2 $38,850 3,500

To calculate the activity 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 (A2)= 38,850 / 3,500

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate (A2)= $11.1
