    36,250 direct labor-hours

    Explanation:

    a. Underapplied (overapplied) manufacturing overhead = Actual manufacturing overhead - Manufacturing overhead applied

    - $65,115 = $972,000 - Manufacturing overhead applied

    Manufacturing overhead applied = $972,000 + $65,115 = $1,037,115

    b. Manufacturing overhead applied = Predetermined overhead rate * Actual direct labor-hours

    Therefore, we have:

    Predetermined overhead rate = Manufacturing overhead applied : Actual direct labor-hours = $1,037,115 : 36,390 = $28.50 per direct labor-hour

    c. Estimated direct labor-hours = Estimated total manufacturing overhead : Predetermined overhead rate = $1,033,125 : $28.50 = 36,250 direct labor-hours

    Therefore, the estimated direct labor-hours at the beginning of the year used in the predetermined overhead rate must have been 36,250 direct labor-hours.
