Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $25.71 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (1,192,360 / 52,000) + 2.78

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 22.93 + 2.78

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $25.71 per direct labor hour
