Respuesta :

Answer:

$27.7 per hour

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Predetermined overhead rate = Total estimated manufacturing overhead  ÷ Budgeted Labor hours

where,

Total estimated manufacturing overhead equals to

= 7,300 hours × $7.50 + $147,460

= $202,210

And, the estimated direct labor hours is 7,300

So, the predetermined overhead rate is

= $202,210 ÷ 7,300 hours  

=  $27.7 per hour
