The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour is $3.75 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Actual manufacturing overhead costs = $ 212,500

Actual direct labor hours = 54,900 hours

Actual direct labor costs = $ 445,000

Estimated manufacturing overhead costs = $210,000

Estimated direct labor hours = 56,000 hours

Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead costs : Estimated direct labor hours

Predetermined Overhead Rate = $210,000 : 56,000

Predetermined Overhead Rate = $3.75 per direct labor hour
