Santiago Friedman · Answer 1

b. 100,000 direct labor hours

Explanation:

Standard labor hours required

= Total fixed costs / Fixed overhead rate per labor hour

= $600,000 / $6

= 100,000 labor hours

Standard activity level

= Standard labor hours required in total / Standard labor hours per unit

= 100,000 / 1

= 100,000 units

Ronald Hopkins · Answer 2

b. 100,000 direct labor hours

Explanation:

Predetermined Overhead Rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity

Therefore,

Budgeted Activity = Budgeted Overheads / Predetermined Overhead Rate

= $600,000 / $6.00

= 100,000 hours
