Discuss three basis used for calculating predetermined factory overhead rates?


 FOH predetermined rate is calculate on five bases some of these are follows:

  1. Materials costs
  2. Direct labor cost
  3. Direct labor hours


  1. Materials costs:

                                  We can calculate predetermined FOH rate on the bases of materials cost by the following formula:

                       Predetermined FOH rate= Estimated FOH ×100
                                                                    Materials cost

  1. Direct labor cost:
                                    We can calculate FOH predetermined rate on the bases of direct labor cost, the formula is:

                           Predetermined FOH rate= Estimated FOH ×100
                                                                         Direct labor cost


  1. Direct labor hours:
                                        If we calculate FOH rate predetermined on the bases of direct labor hours. The formula is:

                          Predetermined FOH rate= Estimated FOH ×100
                                                                         Direct labor hours
