Caitlin is a senior partner, her annual salary is $168,750, and she is expected to bill 2,000 hours during the year. Zachary is a senior associate, his annual salary is $91,125, and he is expected to bill 1,800 hours during the year. a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate. b. Assuming that the hourly billing rate should be set to cover the total cost of services plus a 20% markup, compute the hourly billing rates for Caitlin and Zachary. a. Predetermined Overhead Rate: $779,625/($168,750 + 91,125) = 300% of Salary Cost b. Caitlin's billing rate = Annual Salary + Overhead (300% of Salary) = $168,750 + $506,250 = $675,000/2,000 hours = $337.50 hourly cost. $337.50 x 1.20 = $405/hour billing rate. Zachary's billing rate = Annual Salary + Overhead (300% of Salary) = $91,125 + $273,375 = $364,500/1,800 hours = $202.50 hourly cost. $202.50 x 1.20 = $243/hour billing rate.
