Question

The San Pedro Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $10,000,000 and that total machine hours will be 200,000 hours. Year to date, the actual overhead is $8,000,000 and the actual machine hours are 100,000 hours. If the company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours for applying overhead, what is that overhead rate

Answer 1

the overhead rate is $50 per machine hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the overhead rate is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate

= Estimated total Overhead ÷ Estimated total machine hour

= $10,000,000 ÷ 200,000 hours

= $50 per machine hour

hence, the overhead rate is $50 per machine hour

The same should be considered and relevant
