    The company's predetermined overhead rate is 208%

    Explanation:

    In order to calculate the company's predetermined overhead rate we would have to calculate first the Overhead applied as follows:

    o verhead applied=Work in process balance-Direct Material-Direct Labor

    o verhead applied=$7,728-$2,800-$1,600

    o verhead applied=$3,328

    Therefore, Overhead application rate = $3,328/$1,600 = 217%

    Overhead application rate = 208%

    The company's predetermined overhead rate is 208%

    208%

    Explanation:

    Work In Progress = Direct materials + Direct labor + Over Head

    $7,728 = $2,800 + $1,600 + OH

    $7,728=$4,400

    $7,728-$4,400

    OH=$3,328

    OH rate = $3,328/$1,600

    = 208%
