standard direct labor$-$hours. The budgeted variable manufacturing overhead is $$2\mathrm{.}40$ per direct labor$-$hour and the budgeted fixed

manufacturing overhead is $$384,000$ per year.

The standard quantity of materials is $4$ pounds per unit and the standard cost is $$4\mathrm{.}00$ per pound. The standard direct labor$-$hours per

unit is $1\mathrm{.}5$ hours and the standard labor rate is $$12\mathrm{.}20$ per hour.

The company planned to operate at a denominator activity level of $60,000$ direct labor$-$hours and to produce $40,000$ units of product

during the most recent year. Actual activity and costs for the year were as follows:

Actual number of units produced

Actual direct labor$-$hours worked

Actual variable manufacturing overhead cost incurred

Actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost incurred

$48,000$

$78,000$

$$124,800$

$$429,000$

Required:

Compute the predetermined overhead rate for the year. Break the rate down into variable and fixed elements.
