Frameworks Artisans creates hand-painted picture frames. The frames are cast from resin in an automated process. Once the casting is done, talented artisans hand-paint one of fifteen designs on each frame. In the final assembly process, a worker inserts the glass pane and attaches the backing to the frame. Frameworks budget for the current year, along with the production requirements for two of the frames it produces, are as follows:
Casting Painting Assembly
Direct labor hours 60,000 12,000
Machine hours 28,000 800
Manufacturing overhead cost $252,000 $276,000 $48,000
Seasons of Fun Frame:
Casting Painting Assembly
Direct labor hours 0.5 0.1
Machine hours 1 0.05
Birth Announcement Frame:
Casting Painting Assembly
Direct labor hours 1 0.2
Machine hours 0.5 0.05
Assume that Frameworks Artisans uses a single predetermined overhead application rate based on direct labor hours. Calculate the rate for the current year. (Round overhead rate to 2 decimal places, e.g. 3.54.) **Please explain in detail!
