Homework Answers
Answer
- Correct Answer = Option ‘A’
‘A timing issue exists between knowing
the actual costs and needing to know the unit product cost for
managerial decisions, such as product pricing decisions.’
That is why Predetermined Overhead rate is used.
- Predetermined overhead rate is calculated at the beginning of the period by using ‘estimated total cost’ and ‘estimated total allocation base’ like estimated direct labor hours.
