Answer:

a)  25.41 per hour

Explanation:

Under activity-based costing method, overheads are charged to units produced using cost drivers unlike the traditional absorption costing where overhead are charged using volume-related bases only like direct labour hours.

Cost drivers are the most important factors that cause a change in the amount of overhead incurred. For example, an appropriate cost driver for account inquiry overhead would be number of hours . And this would be used to charged overhead  accordingly

Activity Overheads rate = Activity overhead / number of cost drivers

  Account inquiry overhead per hour

                                    =$61,000 /2,400 hours

                                       = 25.41 per hour
