Cannizzaro Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on 40,000 machine-hours, total fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $248,000, and a variable manufacturing overhead rate of $3.80 per machine-hour.Required:Calculate the predetermined overhead rate for the year.
What will be an ideal response?
Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost = Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost + (Estimated variable overhead cost per unit of the allocation base × Estimated total amount of the allocation base) = $248,000 + ($3.80 per machine-hour × 40,000 machine-hours) = $248,000 + $152,000 = $400,000
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $400,000 ÷ 40,000 machine-hours = $10.00 per machine-hour
