EXERCISE 11-5 (15 MINUTES)

1. The total overhead cost at the denominator level of activity must be de-

termined before the predetermined overhead rate can be computed.

Total fixed overhead cost per year ... $250,000

Total variable overhead cost

($2 per DLH × 40,000 DLHs)... 80,000

Total overhead cost at the denominator level of activity.... $330,000

Overhead at the denominator level of activity

Predetermined= overhead rate Denominator level of activity

$330,000

= =$8.25 per DLH
