Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $21 per inspections

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

For its inspecting cost pool, Ellis Company expected overhead cost of $45,150 and 2,150 inspections.

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 45,150/2,150

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $21 per inspections
