Solution

Managers use a predetermined overhead rate for the following reasons:

  • To estimate total job costs before the job is completed
  • To assist in setting prices for jobs

The other options are not correct because total job costs are often needed before the end of the accounting period, not just at the end. Also, predetermined costs are not necessarily more accurate than using actual costs; they are estimates used for planning and decision-making purposes.
