The following data relates to Black-Out Company's estimated amounts for next year. Estimated: Department 1 Department 2 Manufacturing overhead costs $ 300,000 $ 400,000 Direct labor hours 60,000 DLH 80,000 DLH Machine hours 1,000 MH 2,000 MH What is the company's plantwide overhead rate if machine hours are the allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $233.33 per machine hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total estimated overhead= 300,000 + 400,000= $700,000

Machine hours= 1,000 + 2,000= 3,000

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= 700,000 / 3,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $233.33 per machine hour

answer; is the sum of all individual demands curves;
