Benton currently applies overhead on the basis of direct labor cost. What is the predetermined overhead rate for the quarter?

The CFO and the plant controller at Benton are thinking of adopting an ABC system. They have tentatively chosen the following cost drivers: direct labor cost for supervision, production runs for setup labor, and direct material dollars for incoming inspection. Compute the cost driver rates for the proposed system at Benton.
