    A) $2.50 per direct labor-hour

    Explanation:

    The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

    Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) : (estimated direct labor-hours)

    where,

    Estimated manufacturing overhead = Rent on factory building + Depreciation on factory equipment + Indirect labor + Production Supervisor's salary

    = $15,000 + $8,000 + $12,000 + $15,000

    = $50,000

    And, the estimated direct labor hours is 20,000

    So, the rate is

    = $50,000 : 20,000

    = $2.5 per direct labor-hour
