Answer:

The answer is "[tex]\$ \ 100,000 \ hours[/tex]"

Explanation:

Budgeted fixed cost  [tex]= \$ 600,000[/tex]  

labour hours [tex]= \frac{ \$ 6 }{hour}[/tex]  

[tex]\text{overhead rate} = \frac{ \text{Budgeted fixed cost}}{labour\ hours}[/tex]

                     [tex]= \frac{\$ \ 600, 000}{\$ \ 6}\\\\= \$ \ 100,000 \ hours[/tex]
