Problem - Puget World, Inc., manufactures two models of television sets, the N 800 XL model and the N 500 model. Data regarding the two products follow:
Direct Labor-Hours per Unit Annual Production Total Direct Labor-Hours
Model N 800 XL 3.0 3,000 units 9,000
Model N 500 2.0 10,000 units 20,000
29,000
Additional information about the company follows:

Machine setups Number of setups $320,000
Special processing Machine-hours 260,000
General factory Direct labor-hours 1,305,000
$1,885,000
Expected Activity
Activity Measure Model N 800 XL Model N 500 Total
Number of setups 80 170 250
Machine-hours 16,000 0 16,000
Direct labor-hours 9,000 20,000 29,000
Required -
1. Assume that the company continues to use direct labor-hours as the base for applying overhead cost to products.
a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate.
