Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of ordering = $145,000

Cost of machine setup = $319,500

Cost of machining = $1,575,000

Cost of assembly = $1,250,000

Cost of inspection = $325,000

Total estimated overhead:

= Cost of ordering + Cost of machine setup + Cost of machining + Cost of assembly + Cost of inspection

= $145,000 + $319,500 + $1,575,000 + 1,250,000 + 325,000

= $3,614,500

Predetermined overhead rate:

= Total estimated overhead ÷ Estimated direct labor hours

= $3,614,500 ÷ 100,000 hours

= $36.14
