Explanation:

a) Salinger Company

Data and Calculations:

Total factory overhead = $132,000

Direct labor hours (estimate) = 22,000

Predetermined factory overhead rate = Factory overhead divided by direct labor hours

= $132,000/22,000

= $6

b) Almerinda Company

Data and Calculations:

Total factory overhead = $1,750,000

Direct labor hours (estimate) = 500,000

Predetermined factory overhead rate = Factory overhead divided by direct labor hours

= $1,750,000/500,000

= $3.50
