The costs incurred prior to January 1 on this job were as follows: direct materials $21,000, direct labor $12,600, and manufacturing overhead $16,800. As of January 1, Job 49 had been completed at a cost of $94,500 and was part of finished goods inventory. There was a $15,750 balance in the Raw Materials Inventory account. During the month of January, Lott Company began production on Jobs 51 and 52, and completed Jobs 50 and 51.

Job No. Direct Materials $10,500 40,950 31,500 Direct Labor $5,250 26,250 21,000 51 Calculate the predetermined overhead rate for 2020, assuming Lott Company estimates total manufacturing overhead costs of $882,000, direct labor costs of $735,000, and direct labor hours of 21,000 for the year.
