Why do companies use predetermined overhead rates rather than actual manufacturing overhead costs to apply overhead to jobs?

Answer and explanation:

Corporations tend to use predetermined overhead rates instead of actual manufacturing overhead costs because they are difficult to trace. Overhead costs are typically calculated at the end of an accounting period but managers must know this information before the end of the year so they can have an idea of what is the performance of the company. Besides, predetermined overhead rates make it easy to record production costs compared to actual overhead costing.

the answer is true.  i do believe this is the answer because of the amount of wrecks people get into each year.  if you double this with avoiding those so said wrecks, that would make you a "skilled" driver.
