Oldham Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on a variable manufacturing overhead cost of $4.00 per machine-hour and fixed manufacturing overhead cost of $87,822 per period. If the denominator level of activity is 4,100 machine-hours, what would be the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate

$21.42

Explanation:

The computation of fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:-

Fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate = Fixed Overhead ÷ Machine Hours

= $87,822 ÷ 4,100

= $21.42

Therefore for computing the fixed component in the predetermined overhead rate we simply divide the fixed overhead by machine hours.

And all the other information i.e given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
