Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

K Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $2,900,000 for indirect labor and $800,000 for factory utilities. The company uses direct labor hours as its overhead allocation base.

Direct labor hours= 80,000

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

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

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (2,900,000 + 800,000)/80,000= $46.25 per direct labor hour
