The answer for question A is $ 70,200

The answer for question B is $ 15.20

Explanation:

A.

Budgeted direct labor hours = 6,000 hours

Variable overhead rate = $2.00

Variable manufacturing overheads = 6000 x $2 = $ 12,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead = $ 79,200

Total Manufacturing overheads = $ 91,200

Depreciation = $ 21,000

Cash disbursement of manufacturing overhead for November = total manufacturing overheads - Depreciation

= $91,200 - $ 21,000 = $ 70,200

B.

From above, we have Total Manufacturing overheads = $ 91,200

Budgeted direct labor hours = 6,000 hours

Predetermined overhead rate for the month of November = Total Manufacturing overheads : Budgeted direct labor hours

= $91,200 : 6000 = $ 15.20
