The company applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor-hours. For the current year, 2024, the company's predetermined overhead rate of $16.25 per direct labor-hour was based on a cost formula that estimated $650,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 40,000 direct labor-hours.
