    The predetermined overhead rate for the year must have been closest to $15.38 per direct labor-hour.

    Explanation:

    Estimated Overhead = $364,620

    Actual Labor hours = 24,000 hours

    Over applied overhead = Applied overhead - Actual overhead

    $8,540 = Applied overhead - $360,580

    Applied overhead = $8540 + $360,580 = $369,120

    Applied overhead = Actual Labor hours x Predetermined overhead rate

    $369,120 = 24,000 x Predetermined overhead rate

    Predetermined overhead rate = $369,120 / 24,000 = $15.38 per labor hour
