Answer :

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The computation of overhead rate for February is seen below

First, we need to determine the fixed manufacturing overhead per labor hour

Fixed manufacturing overhead per direct labor hour = Total manufacturing overhead ÷ Total direct labor hours

= $108,780 ÷ 7,400

= $14.7

Predetermined overhead rate = Variable overhead rate + Fixed manufacturing overhead rate

= $8.50 + $14.70

= $23.2 per direct labor hour
