Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $24.3 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The direct labor budget indicates that 1,300 direct labor-hours will be required in March.

The variable overhead rate is $8.90 per direct labor hour.

The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $20,020 per month.

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= (20,020/1,300) + 8.9

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $24.3 per direct labor hour

Overhead rate = $15.4  per direct labour hour

Explanation:

The predetermined overhead absorption rate = Estimated overhead for march/ Estimated direct labour hours

= $20,020/ 1,300 hours

= $15.4  per hour

Overhead rate = $15.4  per direct labour hour
