Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided:

Direct labor cost = $30,000

Direct materials cost = $50,000

Factory overhead applied = $6,000

Now,

The overhead application rate is given as:

Overhead application rate =
\frac{\textup{Factory overhead applied}}{\textup{Direct labor cost}}*100

therefore,

Overhead application rate =
\frac{\textup{6,000}}{\textup{30,000}}*100

or

Overhead application rate = 0.2 × 100% = 20%
