The overhead application rate is 1.8
Explanation:
In the question both the estimated and actual overhead cost , material and labor cost are provided -
ESTIMATED ACTUAL
Overhead cost $396,000 $418,000
Material cost $410,000 $413,200
Direct cost $220,000 $224,000

= Budgeted overhead cost / direct labor cost
= $396,000 / $220,000
= 1.8
