Explanation / Answer

Answer to Part 1.

Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated Manufacturing Costs / Total Annual Salary
Total Annual Salary = $126,480 + $73,260
Total Annual Salary = $199,740

Predetermined Overhead Rate = 299,610 / 199,740
Predetermined Overhead Rate = 150% of Salary Cost

Answer to Part 2.

Debbie:
Total Cost of Service = $126,480 + ($126,480 * 150%)
Total Cost of Service = $316,200

Service Cost per Billable Hour = 316,200 / 1,700
Service Cost per Billable Hour = $186

Billing Rate = $186 + ($186 * 25%)
Billing Rate = $232.50 per Hour

Tara:
Total Cost of Service = $73,260 + ($73,260 * 150%)
Total Cost of Service = $183,150

Service Cost per Billable Hour = 183,150 / 1,650
Service Cost per Billable Hour = $111

Billing Rate = $111 + ($111 * 25%)
Billing Rate = $138.75 per Hour
