An overhead applicaton rate is a device used to assign appropriate amounts of overhead costs to
speciic services, products, or jobs that are in progress. The overhead applicaton rate expresses the
relaton between the overhead costs and some actvits base that can be used to trace costs directls
to each speciic job. An overhead applicaton rate is computed bs dividing the expected amounts of
actvits (for example, machineshhours, labor hours, etc.)e related to the actvits base.
The predetermined overhead rate (POHR)e used to appls overhead to jobs is determined before the
period begins.
estimated total manufacturing overhead
POHR=
e stimated total units∈the activity base
total overhead applied=POHR x Actual activity
Overhead Applicaton ate A device to appls a normal amount of overhead costs to work in
process. The rate is predetermined at the beginning of the sear and
expresses the percentage relatonship between estmated total
overhead of the sear and the estmated total of some cost driver,
such as direct labour hours, direct labour costs, or machinehhours.
Use of the overhead applicaton rate causes overhead to be charged
to work in process in proporton to the amount of ‘cost driver’
traceable to those units.

applicaton rate (e.g. machines hours incurred during the period,
direct labour hours)e
