Labour costs and overhead costs:

The hourly rate including benefits for Building is $_____(D) and for finishing is $______(E).

To cost jobs as they are worked on, a predetermined or budgeted overhead rate was computed for 2020 based on the following budgeted cost drivers:

Building department 60,000 machine hours

Finishing department $132,020 of direct labour

These overhead rates will be used throughout the year by each department. All overhead will be applied to all jobs worked on during the year in proportion to the machine-hour and/or direct-labour cost devoted to each job. Bruno Inc. rents its factory building.

This budget was prepared after careful consideration of the sales outlook for the coming year. The forecasted budget consisted of the following items:
