Landon Manufacturing plans to produce 25,000 units next period at a denominator activity of 50,000 direct labor hours. The direct labor wage rate is $14.00 per hour. The company's standards allow 2.5 yards of direct materials for each unit of product; the material costs $9.00 per yard. The company's budget includes a variable manufacturing overhead cost of $2.50 per direct labor hour and fixed manufacturing overhead of $240,000 per period. Using 50,000 direct labor hours as the denominator activity, compute the predetermined overhead rate and break it down into variable and fixed elements.
