Answer:
$2 per hour
Explanation:
Given: Budgeted indirect cost $4000
Budgeted allocation base ; 2000 hours
Actual indirect costs incurred: $4200
Actual allocation base : 2050 hours
Standard rate for allocation of indirect cost = Budgeted indirect cost/Budgeted allocation base
= $4000/2000 hrs
= $2 per hour
Budgeted or standard indirect cost rate refers to the estimated indirect cost rate which is arrived at by dividing budgeted expenses by budgeted allocation base i.e budgeted hours here.
