I am looking for the correct answer to this general accounting question with appropriate explanations.
Fiona Industries plans to produce 30,000 units next period at a denominator activity of 60,000 direct labor hours. The direct labor wage rate is $16.50 per hour. The company's standards allow 2.2 yards of direct materials for each unit of product; the material costs $10.50 per yard. The company's budget includes a variable manufacturing overhead cost of $3.25 per direct labor hour and fixed manufacturing overhead of $285,000 per period. Using 60,000 direct labor hours as the denominator activity, compute the predetermined overhead rate and break it down into variable and fixed elements.
