West North Company had estimated $900,000 of manufacturing overhead (MOH) for the year and 60,000 direct labor (DL) hours, resulting in a predetermined MOH rate of $15 per DL hour. By the end of that year, the company had actually incurred $848,250 of MOH costs and had used a total of 58,500 DL hours on various jobs.
