    Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = $2.15 per direct labor hour

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    It takes 80,900 direct labor hours to manufacture the X-1 and 93,500 direct labor hours to manufacture the X-2 Line.

    Total overhead = 225,000 + 149,960 = $374,960

    To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

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

    Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = 374,960 / (80,900 + 93,500)

    Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = $2.15 per direct labor hour
