Answer:
$34 per hour
Explanation:
Direct labor hour s:
= Labor cost ÷ Rate per hour
= $36,550 ÷ $17
= 2,150 Direct labor hours
Predetermined overhead rate :
= Overhead applied on the basis of direct labor hour ÷ Number of hours
= $73,100 ÷ 2,150 hrs
= $34 per hour
Therefore, the predetermined overhead rate using the labor rate of $17 per hour is $34 per hour.
