Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base
= $546,000 ÷ 42,000 direct labor-hours = $13.00 per direct labor-hour
Overhead applied = Predetermined overhead rate × Amount of the allocation base incurred
= $13.00 per direct labor-hour × 47,000 direct labor-hours = $611,000
