Standard Deluxe
Direct materials cost per unit $240 $280
Direct labor cost per unit $120 $135
Number of units 250 500

The company uses direct labor costs as the base to allocate manufacturing overhead. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
A) 32.15%
B) 33.84%
C) 190.52%
D) 65.95%


D .D) Total direct labor cost = ($120 x 250 units) + ($135 x 500 units) = $97,500
Predetermined overhead allocation rate = $64,300 / $97,500 = 65.95% of direct labor costs

Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)

From the perspective of the critical industrial relations school of thought, U.S. unions offer a model that should be imitated by other unions because it holds long term potential for eliminating class divisions. According to the critical industrial relations school, the most successful labor unions are those that take a very pragmatic, business-like approach to bargaining for better wages, hours and working conditions. The term "socialist" has been used widely in the mainstream press lately. Socialism describes a movement that would encourage and utilize revolution as a way to replace capitalism with worker control. The declining unionization rates and increasing income inequality in the U.S. closely exemplifies predictions of the critical industrial relations school of thought. If you believe that labor cannot be treated like other commodities but that there is no inherent conflict of interest between capital owners and laborers, your beliefs are most consistent with the human resources school of thought.
