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.
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
false, direct labor and manufacturing overhead = conversion cost
Well, honey, if manufacturing overhead is 20% of total conversion costs, and direct labor is $38,000 and direct materials are $47,000, then total conversion costs would be $38,000 + $47,000 = $85,000. So, if manufacturing overhead is 20% of that, it would be 0.20 x $85,000 = $17,000. So, the manufacturing overhead would be $17,000.
Increase in overhead rate would have negative financial impact since its one of the cost under the income statement. Increased in overhead rate would lead to increase in costs, which eventually would lead to lower income. Sales - Direct material - Direct labor - Overhead = Profit

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.
Weaver Company's predetermined overhead rate is $18.00 per direct labor-hour and its direct labor wage rate is $12.00 per hour.
no direct cost is not an overhead
Advances in computerized systems, technological innovation, global competition, and automation have changed the manufacturing environment. The amount of direct labor used in many industries has greatly decreased, and total overhead costs resulting from depreciation on expensive equipment and machinery, utilities, repairs, and maintenance have significantly increased. When there is not a correlation between direct labor and overhead, it is inappropriate to use predetermined overhead rates based on direct labor.
What journal entry is made in a job-order costing system when $8000 of material are requisitioned for general factory use instead of for use in a particular job?
Under absorption costing overheads are allocated to production based on predetermined overhead rates like machine hours, or direct labor hours etc while in direct costing overheads are allocated based on activity performed and relationship with production units.

Using direct labor hours: Overhead rate = Total Overhead Expenses /Direct labor hours Using Machine hours: Overhead rate = Total Overhead Expenses /Machine hours

Quote: "A common practice is to calculate an overhead charge as a percentage of the direct costs of providing the services under the contract." source: http://www.unbc.ca/assets/policy/research/indirect_costs_and_overhead_charges_for_research_and_for_instructional_services_surpluses_2.pdf explaining that overhead charge is describing the indirect cost that a contract causes to the delivering institution.
