The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $12 per direct labor hour ($18.00 ÷ 1.50). It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 7,950 direct labor hours (5,300 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $43,725 ($5.50 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $51,675 ($6.50 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 3,800 units were as follows.

Direct materials (7,770 pounds)


$ 55,478

Direct labor (5,580 hours)


68,578

Variable overhead


52,187

Fixed overhead


18,203

    Total manufacturing costs


$194,446
