### Overhead Calculation Guide

This section explains how to compute the predetermined variable overhead rate and the predetermined fixed overhead rate for Stevens Door Mat company. Here are the steps and details involved:

#### Background Information:

- **Standard Cost System**: Stevens uses this to estimate costs.
- **Labor Time**: Estimated at one hour of direct labor per door mat.

#### Production Capacity:
- **Normal Production Capacity**: 125,000 units per year.

#### Budgeted Overhead at Normal Capacity:
- **Total Budgeted Overhead**: $1,062,500
  - **Variable Costs**: $437,500
  - **Fixed Costs**: $625,000

#### Allocation Basis:
- **Overhead Allocation**: Based on direct labor hours.

#### Current Year Data:
- **Production**: 73,100 door mats
- **Direct Labor Hours Worked**: 86,700 hours
- **Variable Overhead Costs Incurred**: $186,405
- **Fixed Overhead Costs Incurred**: $562,350

#### Computation:

1. **Predetermined Variable Overhead Rate**: 
\[ \text{Variable Overhead Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Variable Overhead at Normal Capacity}}{\text{Total Direct Labor Hours at Normal Capacity}} \]
\[ \text{Variable Overhead Rate} = \frac{437,500}{125,000} = \$3.50 \text{ per direct labor hour} \]

2. **Predetermined Fixed Overhead Rate**: 
\[ \text{Fixed Overhead Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Fixed Overhead at Normal Capacity}}{\text{Normal Production Capacity}} \]
\[ \text{Fixed Overhead Rate} = \frac{625,000}{125,000} = \$5.00 \text{ per direct labor hour} \]

#### Summary:
- **Predetermined Variable Overhead Rate**: $3.50 per direct labor hour
- **Predetermined Fixed Overhead Rate**: $5.00 per direct labor hour
