    Instructions are listed below.

    Explanation:

    To calculate the estimated overhead rate for each activity cost pool, we need to use the following formula:

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = total estimated overhead costs for the period / total amount of allocation base

    Labor-related = 52,000/8,000 = $6.5 per direct labor hour

    Machine-related = 15,000/20,000 = $0.75 machine-hour

    Machine setups = 42,000/1,000 = $42 per setup

    Production orders = 18,000/500 = $36 per order

    Product testing = 48,000/2,000 = $24 per test

    Packaging = 75,000/5,000 = $15 per package

    General factory = 108,800/8,000 = $13.6 per direct labor-hour
