    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = $1.3 per direct labor dollar.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Estimated overhead cost = $747,500

    Estimated direct labor cost = $575,000

    To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = total estimated overhead costs for the period / total amount of allocation base

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = 747,500/575,000 = $1.3 per direct labor dollar.
