Answer:

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.
