Calculation of Pre-determined Overhead Rate

Pre determined overhead rate =Estimated total overhead/ Estimated Machine hours

Estimated total overhead= 26600+ 2500*1.8 +1500*2.60 =$35000
Estimated machine hours =4000

Pre determined overhead rate=35000/4000 =$8.75

Calculation of Unit product cost

Direct materials 17000
Direct labor 24200
Overhead 8.75*3100=27125
   
Total Cost 68325
Unit product cost 68325/20=$3416.25
