Answer:

The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour will be $32

Explanation:

The formula to compute the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is shown below:

= (Estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (Estimated direct labor hours)

where,

Estimated manufacturing overhead = Wages of factory janitors + Utilities for factory + Rent on factory building

= $39,900 + $17,000 + $13,900

= $70,800

And, the estimated direct labor hours is 2,200 machine hours

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $70,800 ÷ 2,200 machine hours

= $32.18
