Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.28 per direct labor dollar

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor costs= $200,000.

The estimated overhead costs for the year are expected to be $156,000.

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

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 200,000/156,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.28 per direct labor dollar
