    To compute for the overhead rate, we must take the proportion of the total indirect cost over the direct labor cost.

    Overhead rate = Indirect Cost / Direct labor cost

    Total projected overhead cost = $2900000 + $800000

    =$3700000

    Overhead rate = $3700000/$80000

    Overhead rate = 46.25The overhead rate of the K company is 46.25
