a.$5 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) : (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $100,000 : 20,000 direct labor hours

= $5 per direct labor hour

Simply we divide the total estimated manufacturing overhead by the estimated direct labor hours so that the correct rate can come
