    Instructions are listed below

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The company expects to incur total overhead costs of $378,210.

    Applies overhead based on annual salary costs.

    Debbie:

    Annual Salary = 150,000

    Billable hours = 2000

    Cost per hur = 150000/2000 = $75

    Tara:

    Annual Salary: 81000

    Billable hours = 1800

    Cost per hour = $45

    1) Predetermine overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost / estimated total amount of the allocation base

    Predetermine overhead rate = 378210 / (150000+81000) = 1.637

    2) Hourly billing rate = (cost per hour + overhead rate) + 20% mark up

    Hourly billing rate Debbie = (75 + 1.637) * 1.2 = $91.96

    Hourly billing rate Tara = (45 + 1.637) * 1.2 = $55.96
