May 1 May 30 Raw materials $ 31,500 $ 42,000 Finished Goods $ 81,000 $ 78,000 Work in Process $ 19,500 $ 17,424

Applied overhead = Predetermined overhead rate per direct labor hour x Direct Labor hours

$ 43,200 = $ 12 x Direct Labor hours

$ 43,200 / $ 12 = Direct Labor hours

3,600 = Direct Labor hours

So, Answer is 3rd Option 3,600 hour
