    The answer are:

    $62.50 per direct labor hour - for preparation department $33.33 per direct labor hour - for processing department

    Explanation:

    To calculate the departmental overhead cost per direct labor hour we must divide the total overhead cost over the total amount of direct labor hours.

    Preparation department: $25,000 / 400 DLH = $62.50 per DLH

    Processing department: $20,000 / 600 DLH = $33.33 per DLH
