Answer:

The company's overhead application rate is $2.04

Explanation:

For computing the overhead application rate, first, we have to compute the applied overhead, then the only rate is being computed.  

So, the applied overhead equals to

= Balance of work in progress - direct material cost - direct labor cost

= $6,048 - $2,400 - $1,200

= $2,448

Now the  overhead application rate equals to

= Applied overhead ÷ direct labor cost

= $2,448 ÷ $1,200

= $2.04
