    Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Estimated overhead cost = $1,540,000

    Estimated direct labors (in dollars) = $3,360,000

    Estimated direct labor hours = 240,000

    Actual overhead cost = $1,240,000

    Predetermined overhead rate:

    = Estimated overhead cost : Estimated direct labor hours

    = $1,540,000 : 240,000

    = $6.42 per direct labor hour
