Explanation:

Predetermined factory overhead rate = Budgeted Fixed Costs ÷ Estimated Direct Labor Hours

                                                              = $620,000 ÷  80,000

                                                              = $7.75 per direct labor hour.

Application of Overheads.

Job 200 = Actual Labor hours × Predetermined factory overhead rate

             = 2,500 hours × $7.75

             = $19,375

Job 305 = Actual Labor hours × Predetermined factory overhead rate

             =  3,000 hours × $7.75

             = $23,250
