(2) Compute the company's manufacturing overhead rate (including both variable and fixed manufacturing overhead) for the upcoming fiscal year.

Answer 1

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter

Budgeted direct labor-hours 8,800 8,600 8,900 8,300

Total units= 34,600 units

The company's variable manufacturing overhead rate is $3.00 per direct labor-hour and the company's fixed manufacturing overhead is $56,000 per quarter. The only noncash item included in fixed manufacturing overhead is depreciation, which is $14,000 per quarter.

1) Variable overhead= 34,600*3= $103,800

Fixed overhead= (56,000-14,000)*4= $168,000

Total overhead= $271,800

2) Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 271,800/34,600= $7.85 per direct labor hour.
