    C. 150%

    Explanation:

    The computation of the predetermined overhead application rate is shown below:

    = (Overhead amount : Total direct labor cost) * 100

    where,

    Overhead amount equals to

    = Debit balance - direct material 1 - direct labor 1 - direct material 2 - direct labor 2

    = $43,125 - $6,000 - $4,500 - $9,000 - $6,750

    = $16,875

    Total direct labor cost equal to

    = $4,500 + $6,750

    = $11,250

    So, the predetermined overhead application rate would be

    = ($16,875 : $11,250) * 100

    = 150%
