Manufacturing Overhead Costs

Overhead is applied to jobs using a predetermined
overhead rate (POHR) based on estimates made
at the beginning of the accounting period.
Budgeted manufacturing overhead cost
POHR =
Budgeted amount of cost driver (or activity base)
Overhead applied = POHR × Actual activity
Based on estimates, and Actual amount of the allocation

determined before the base, such as direct labor hours,
period begins incurred during the period

Manufacturing Overhead Costs

Overhead is applied to jobs using a predetermined
overhead rate (POHR) based on estimates made
at the beginning of the accounting period.
POHR =
Overhead applied = POHR × Actual activity

Recall the wooden crate example where:
Overhead applied = $4 per DLH × 8 DLH = $32
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
3-24
Overhead Application Example

RoseCo applies overhead based on direct-
labor hours. Total estimated overhead for the
year is $640,000. Total estimated labor cost is
$1,400,000 and total estimated labor hours are
160,000.
What is RoseCo’s predetermined overhead
rate?
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
3-25

POHR =
$640,000
POHR =
160,000 direct-labor hours (DLH)
POHR = $4.00 per DLH
For each direct labor hour worked on a

job, $4.00 of factory overhead will be
applied to the job.

Let’s return to

are not equal.
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
3-40
RoseCo’s actual overhead for the year was $650,000

and a total of 170,000 direct-labor hours were worked.
Using RoseCo’s predetermined overhead rate of $4.00
per direct-labor hour, how much overhead was
applied to all of RoseCo’s jobs during the year?
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
3-41

Using RoseCo’s predetermined overhead rate of $4.00
applied to all of RoseCo’s jobs during the year?
SOLUTION
Applied Overhead = POHR × Actual Direct Labor Hours
Applied Overhead = $4.00 per DLH × 170,000 DLH = $680,000
