Expert Solution
Introduction

Manufacturing Overhead:

Manufacturing overhead is also known as the Indirect Costs. Those are the costs that are not directly related to the production or manufacturing process. These costs include indirect material costs, depreciation of factory equipment, etc. 

It is always difficult to assign these costs to the units produced, therefore, we compute the predetermined overhead rate to assign these costs for the accounting period. 

 

Pre-determined Overhead Rate:

The predetermined overhead rate is computed by dividing the estimated overhead rate by the estimated activity base. The activity base can be direct labor hours, direct labor cost, machine-hours, etc. These are then multiplied with the actual activity base to calculated the Applied Manufacturing Overhead for the period.

Formula:

Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated Manufacturing Overhead/Estimated Activity Base
