    Explanation:

    The calculation of direct labor hour is shown below:-

    Applied Overheads = actual overhead + Over-applied overheads

    = $775,000 + $41,075

    = $816,075

    Predetermined overhead rate = Applied overhead : Labor hours

    = 816,075 : 36,270

    = $22.50

    Direct labor Hours = Estimated Overhead : Predetermined overhead rate

    = $802,125 : $22.50

    = 35,650 hours
