Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = $32 per labor hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The estimated factory overhead costs $ 2,496,000. Estimated labor hours 78,000.

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

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = 2496000/78000 = $32 per labor hour
