b. $14.10.
c. $8.10.
d. $22.20.

Respuesta :

Answer:

d. $22.20

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the pre-determined overhead rate for September should be:

Using this formula

Predetermined overhead rate = Variable overhead rate per direct labor hour + Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead/Estimated direct labor hour

Let plug in the formula

Predetermined overhead rate=$8.10 + ($74,730/5,300)

Predetermined overhead rate= $8.10+$14.1

Predetermined overhead rate= $22.20 per direct

Therefore the pre-determined overhead rate for September should be:$22,20
