MC Qu. 116 CWN Company uses a job order costing... CWN Company uses a job order costing system and last period incurred $90,000 of actual overhead and $100,000 of direct labor. CWN estimates that its overhead next period will be $65,000. 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

65%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine its predetermined overhead rate for the next period should be:

Using this formula

OH rate = Estimated overhead next period/direct labor

Let plug in the formula

OH rate = $65,000/$100,000

OH rate = 65%

Therefore If CWN bases applied overhead on direct labor cost, its predetermined overhead rate for the next period should be: 65%
