What is the overhead rate about?

Note that:

In the case above, for one to be able to calculate the predetermined overhead rate, a person need to divide the value of the  estimated overhead costs which is $52,500 by that of the estimated direct labor hours .

Predetermined overhead rate=Estimated overhead costs/ estimated direct labor hours

Predetermined overhead rate=$52,500/  12,500

Predetermined overhead rate=$4.20/DLH overhead rate

Hence:  $52,500/ 12,500 =   $4.20/DLH overhead rate.

Since the Overhead that was applied at standard hours was said to be allowed, then:

= $4.2 x 2,400 x 1.75

= $17,640.
