Determine the predetermined oh rates


The Splash makes large fiberglass swimming pools and uses machine hours and direct labor hours to apply overhead in the Production and Installation departments, respectively. The monthly cost formula for overhead in Production is y = $7,950 + $4.05 MH; the overhead cost formula in Installation is y = $6,150 + $14.25 DLH. These formulas are valid for a relevant range of activity up to 6,000 machine hours in Production and 9,000 direct labor hours in Installation.

 

Each pool is estimated to require 25 machine hours in Production and 60 hours of direct labor in Installation. Expected capacity for the year is 120 pools.

 





a. Prepare a flexible budget for Production at possible annual capacities of 2,500, 3,000, and 3,500 machine hours.
