Launch This Resource. In 1950, Erwin Chargaff published a paper stating that in the DNA of any given species, the ratio of adenine to thymine is equal, as is the ratio of cytosine to guanine. This became known as Chargaff's ratio, and it was an important clue for solving the structure of DNA. Downloads. Downloads.
The average annual overhead for a dental office (not including the dentistâs salary) is $350,000. The average clinician works 33 hours per week for 48 weeks, which is 1,600 hours per year. By taking the $525,000 average annual revenue and dividing it by 1,600 hours, we get $312 an hour to keep the office operating profitably.
Tip. 1  You may also calculate the overhead rate based on direct labor hours. 2  Divide the overhead costs by the direct labor hours over the same measurement period. 3  In the example, the overhead rate is $20 for each direct labor hour ($2,000/100).irect labor cost depends on the number of hours worked and the average hourly rate for labor directly involved in the manufacture of products. Overhead costs are indirect costs, such as administration and quality control. The selling price must be equal to at least the total direct and overhead costs to break even.
