Bluecap Co. uses a standard cost system and flexible budgets for control purposes. The following budgeted information pertains to 2019:

Denominator volumenumber of units		7,000
Denominator volumepercent of capacity		70	%
Denominator volumestandard direct labor hours (DLHs)		22,000
Budgeted variable factory overhead cost at denominator volume	$	103,300
Total standard factory overhead rate per DLH	$	15.10

During 2019, Bluecap worked 26,000 DLHs and manufactured 9,600 units. The actual factory overhead cost for the year was $11,000 greater than the flexible budget amount for the units produced, of which $5,000 was due to fixed factory overhead. In preparing a budget for 2020 Bluecap decided to raise the level of operation to 90% of capacity (a level it considers to be "practical capacity"), to manufacture 9,000 units at a budgeted total of 27,000 DLHs.

Under the assumption that the total budgeted fixed overhead for 2020 is the same as it was for 2019, what is the standard fixed overhead application rate per DLH (to two (2) decimal places) for Bluecap Co. for 2020? (Round your intermediate calculation to 2 decimal places.)
