Answer 1

Answer:

C. $ 7,500

Explanation:

Estimated direct labor cost                                                       $ 100,000

Estimated direct labor hours                                                          20,000 hours

Predetermined rate per direct labor hours                  $ 5 per direct labor hour

Actual hours used on a job                                                             1,500 hours

Applied overhead based on the predetermined overhead

rate per direct labor hours

$ 5 per direct labor hours * 1,500 hours                                         $ 7,500
