    b. $30.00 per hour

    Explanation:

    Overhead application rate is calculated by dividing the Budgeted overhead by the budgeted level of activity on which the overhead is applied.

    Overhead application rate = Budgeted overhead / Budgeted activity

    Overhead application rate = Budgeted overhead / Budgeted labor hours

    Overhead application rate = $900,000 / 30,000 labor hours

    Overhead application rate = $30 per labor hour.
