    Explanation:

    From the question above Cosi company is expected to incur $800,000 of overhead during the next period.

    They are also expected to use 50,000 labor hours at a cost of $10 per hour

    The first step is to find the estimated direct labor costs

    = 50,000 * $10

    = $500,000

    Estimated direct labor cost = $500,000

    The next step is to find the estimated overhead rate

    Estimated overhead rate = Estimated overhead/Estimated direct labor costs

    = 800,000/500,000

    = 1.6 * 100

    = 160%

    Hence the predetermined overhead rate for Cosi company is 160%
