Answer:

The multiple choices are:

a67%.

b90%.

c138%.

d111%.

e149%.

Correct option is A,67%

Explanation:

Predetermined overhead rate=budgeted overhead next period/expected direct labor cost for next period *100

budgeted overhead next period is $67,000

expected direct labor cost for next period is $100,000

Predetermined overhead rate=$67,000/$100,000*100

=67%

The correct option then is 67%,option A

Option E was arrived at using the inverse of the formula:direct labor cost divided by overhead

=100,000/67000*100=149%

In other words, one has to be meticulous in applying the formula to the variables given in the question.
