Respuesta :

Answer:

237.96%

Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor cost)

= ($237,247) ÷ ($99,700)

= 237.96%

By dividing the total estimated manufacturing overhead from the estimated direct labor cost we can get the percentage of direct labor cost or predetermined overhead rate
