Actual direct labor cost -  $13,500

Factory overhead cost - $19,200

By using these information, it is easy to compute predetermined factory overhead rate which is based on direct labor cost. The formula is shown below:

answer; /// i do believe the correct answer is (30,000);

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
