Answer:

$1.236= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Processing:

Direct labor cost= $44,500

Applied overhead= $55,000

To determine the estimated overhead rate, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

55,000= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*44,500

55,000/44,500= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate

$1.236= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate
