Compute the predetermined overhead rate assuming that Tiger Furnishings uses direct labor-hours to allocate overhead costs. 

Tiger Furnishings produces two models of cabinets for home theater components, the Basic and the Dominator. The following data on operations and costs for March are provided:

|                        | Basic | Dominator | Total  |
|------------------------|-------|-----------|--------|
| Units produced         | 1,000 | 250       | 1,250  |
| Machine-hours          | 4,500 | 2,500     | 7,000  |
| Direct labor-hours     | 3,000 | 2,000     | 5,000  |
| Direct materials costs | $10,000 | $3,750   | $13,750 |
| Direct labor costs     | $64,500 | $35,500  | $100,000|
| Manufacturing overhead costs |          |           | $175,000|
| Total costs            |       |           | $288,750|

**Required:**

Compute the predetermined overhead rate assuming that Tiger Furnishings uses direct labor-hours to allocate overhead costs.

**Calculation:**

\[ \text{Predetermined overhead rate} = \frac{\text{Total manufacturing overhead costs}}{\text{Total direct labor-hours}} \]

\[ = \frac{175,000}{5,000} = \$35 \text{ per direct labor hour} \]
