Ogan Products computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 40,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period's estimated level of production. The company also estimated $466,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead expenses for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $3.00 per direct labor-hour.

Compute the company's pre-determined overhead rate for the year.

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.65 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated direct labor hour= 40,000

Estimated fixed overhead= $466,000

Variable manufacturing overhead of $3.00 per direct labor-hour.

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (466,000/40,000) + 3

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.65 per direct labor hour
