Answer:

Estimated indirect costs allocation rate= $14 per direct labor hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated direct labor hours= 23,000

Estimated indirect costs= $322,000.

To calculate the allocation rate, we need to use the following formula:

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

Estimated indirect costs allocation rate= 322,000/23,000

Estimated indirect costs allocation rate= $14 per direct labor hour
