Answer:

the predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor costs is a. 0.90

Explanation:

Predetermined overhead rate is used to allocate overheads (indirect costs) to products and departments.

Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity

Note Predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor costs

Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity

                                                  = $234,000/ $260,000

                                                  = $0.90 per direct labor cost

Answer:

a) 90% of labour cost  i.e 0.9

Explanation:

The per-determined overhead rate based on labour cost would be determined using the formula below

POAR = (Estimated overhead/Estimated labour cost) × 100

POAR = ($234,000/$260,000) × 100

         = 90% of labour cost

It implies that overheads would  be charged  to plroduct by multiplying 90%  by the product labour cost
