The predetermined overhead rate used to apply overhead to finished jobs is determined before the period begins.
Predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost = Budgeted overhead cost / direct labor cost / 100 Predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost = budgeted overhead cost / direct labor hours.
RUNOVER
Predetermined overhead rate = Est. total Manuf. Overhead Cost / Est. total amt of allocation base In this case, allocation base would be direct labor (as opposed to machine labor). Hope this helps
It allows you to forecast future costs needed to do business.

Predetermined overhead rate is calculated according to the normal production capacity of the plant.
Predetermined rate is overhead rate allocated to product cost to find out the full product cost and it is an estimated rate based on total expected overhead on normal capacity divided by some machine hours or direct labor hours etc.
Predetermined overhead rate = Est. total Manuf. Overhead Cost / Est. total amt of allocation base In this case, allocation base would be direct labor (as opposed to machine labor). Hope this helps
Overhead rate : Overhead rate = total overhead cost / direct labor OR Overhead rate = Total overhead cost / machine hours.
We need applied overhead rate to know about the overhead variance. Otherwise how will we know how much overhead expenses should have been incurred and how much is actually incurred? Predetermined rate multiplied by the actual unit level activity is applied overhead

The predetermined factory overhead rate is the cost associated with all products produced by the company. This helps the company easily assign cost.
Using a predetermined rate makes itpossible to estimate total job costs sooner. Actual overhead for the period is notknown until the end of the period.
Absorption method is that in which predetermined overhead rate is use to allocate all overheads to departments or activities.
