At the beginning of the year, manufacturing overhead for the year was estimated to be $897,500. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 36,320 hours, the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $860,000, and manufacturing overhead for the year was overapplied by $48,000. If the predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor-hours, then the estimated direct labor-hours at the beginning of the year used in the predetermined overhead rate must have been: (Do not round intermediate calculation.)

Manufacturing overhead applied = | Actual overhead + Overapplied overhead | |
= | $860,000 + $48,000 | |
= | $908,000 | |
Manufacturing overhead applied = | Predetermined overhead rate x Actual direct labor-hours | |
Predetermined overhead rate = | Manufacturing overhead applied / Actual direct labor-hours | |
$908,000 / 36,320 | ||
$25 per direct labor-hour | ||
Predetermined overhead rate = | Estimated total manufacturing overhead / Estimated direct labor-hours | |
Estimated direct labor-hours = | Estimated total manufacturing overhead / Predetermined overhead rate | |
$897,500 / $25 | ||
