Budgeted overhead = $2,100,000

Budgeted direct labor hours = 89,000

Overhead is applied based on direct labor hour.

Hence in order to calculate the company's predetermined overhead rate for 2019 we would have to make the following calculation:

overhead rate per direct labor hour = $2,100,000 / 89,000

overhead rate per direct labor hour = $23.60

The company's predetermined overhead rate for 2019 is $23,60
