Solution

To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we first need to identify the manufacturing overhead costs. These are the indirect costs associated with producing a product, and in this case, they include the salary of the production supervisor, indirect materials, and rent on factory equipment.

Here's how to calculate it:

  1. Identify the total manufacturing overhead costs: Salary of production supervisor (20,000)+Indirectmaterials(20,000) + Indirect materials (4,000) + Rent on factory equipment (10,000)=10,000) = 34,000

  2. Identify the total machine hours, which is given as 10,000 hours.

  3. Divide the total manufacturing overhead costs by the total machine hours to get the predetermined overhead rate: 34,000/10,000hours=34,000 / 10,000 hours = 3.40 per machine hour

So, the predetermined overhead rate is $3.40 per machine hour.
