Marigold Company

a) Calculation of the predetermined overhead rate for 2020, assuming (Lott) Marigold Company estimates total manufacturing overhead costs of $840,000, direct labor costs of $700,000, and direct labor hours of 20,000 for the year.

Predetermined overhead rate, based on the direct labor costs:

= Total manufacturing overhead costs/direct labor costs

= $840,000/$700,000 = $1.20 per direct labor cost

Predetermined overhead rate, based on the direct labor hours:

= Total manufacturing overhead costs/direct labor hours

= $840,000/20,000 = $4.20 per direct labor hour
