The estimated direct labor hour is 140,000

Explanation:

For computing the direct labor hours, first, we have to compute the predetermined overhead rate. The formula is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = (Applied overhead) : (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $80,000 : 10,000 hours

= $8

Now the direct labor hours equal to

= Estimated overhead : predetermined overhead rate

= $1,120,000 : $8

= 140,000
