Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

There is one formula to calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate. It is the following:

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

For example:

Total estimated overhead= $500,000

Allocation base= direct labor hours

Total direct labor hours= 50,000

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 500,000/50,000= $10 per direct labor hours
