Workshop 2
1. Lanen et al., Review Q. 6-6 (6 th & 5 th ed)
The predetermined overhead rate is the value at which overhead is applied to one
unit of the cost allocation base. It is used in product costing to apply the overhead to
the units produced.
2. Lanen et al., Review Q 6-7 (6 th & 5 th ed)
It would be ideal, but unlikely, that an allocation base would reflect direct causality
between the activity and the overhead cost.
3. Lanen et al., Exercise 6-39 (6 th & 5 th ed)
Predetermined overhead rate = $35.00 per direct labor hour.
