    Correct option is B) $17.10

    Total overhead rate per hour = $17.10

    Explanation:

    Overhead rates are based on cash outflow, they are not allocated and computed based on non cash items.

    Total direct labor hours = 8,900

    Thus total variable overhead rate = $5.50

    Total cash fixed cost = $133,500 - $30,260 = $103,240

    Fixed cost overhead rate = $103,240/8,900 = $11.60

    Total overhead cost per hour = Variable overhead + Fixed Overhead = $5.50 + $11.60 = $17.10
