What predetermined overhead rates would be used


The Watts Company uses predetermined overhead rates to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The predetermined overhead rate is based on labor cost in Dept. A and on machine hours in Dept. B. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates:

Dept. A = first figure; Dept. B = second figure
Direct labor cost: $30,000; $40,000
Manufacturing overhead: 60,000; 50,000
Direct labor hours: 6,000; 8,000
Machine hours: 2,000; 10,000
