Puzzle Company uses a job order costing system. The company's executives estimated that direct labor would be $$55,000(2,750$ hours at $$20/$hour$)$ and that estimated factory overhead would be $$286,500$ for the current period. At the end of the period, actual records show that there had been $2,500$ hours of direct labor and $$290,000$ of actual overhead costs. Using estimated direct labor dollars as a base, what was the predetermined overhead rate?

$*$You only need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate here, nothing else.
