Step-by-step explanation:

GIving the following information:

The company applies all of its overhead costs to jobs based on direct labor-hours.

At the beginning of estimates:

Labor-hours required to support estimated output 30,000.

Fixed overhead costs $405,000.

Variable overhead cost per direct labor-hour $1.00.

A) Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base=

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (405000/30000)+1= $14.5 per direct labour hour
