Explanation / Answer

SOLUTION

Actual direct labor hours worked during May = 3,325 hours

The overhead allocation rate is $12 per hour

The overhead applied to production = $39,900

Overhead applied = Allocation rate * Actual labour hours

$39,900 = $12 * Actual labour hours

Actual labour hours = $39,900 / $12

Actual labour hours = 3,325 hours
