    B. $27.10

    Explanation:

    The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

    As we know that

    Predetermined overhead rate = Total estimated manufacturing overhead : Budgeted direct Labor hours

    where,

    Variable overhead rate per hour = $9.10 per hour

    And,

    Fixed Manufacturing overhead = $104,400

    Now

    Total Estimated manufacturing overhead is

    = 5,800 hours * $9.10 per hour + $104,400

    = $157,180

    And, the direct labor hours is 5,800

    So, the predetermined overhead rate is

    = $157,180 : 5,800 hours

    = $27.10 per hour

    We simply applied the above formula
