C) $29.
D) $31.

Respuesta :

Answer:

D) $31.

Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:  

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ estimated direct labor hours

where,

Estimated manufacturing overhead is

= Salary of factory supervisor + Heating and lighting costs for factory + Depreciation on factory equipment

= $37,600 + $22,000 + $5,600

= $65,200

And, the direct labor hours is 2,100

So, the predetermined overhead rate is

= $65,200 ÷ 2,100

= $31
