Respuesta :

Answer:

90%

Explanation:

The computation of the overhead rate based on a single cost driver is shown below:

= Total Overheads ÷ Total Compensation

where,

Total overhead = $1,260,000

Total compensation = Compensation to partners + Compensation to staff accountants

= $560,000 + $840,000

= $1,400,000

So, the overhead rate equal to

= $1,260,000 ÷ $1,400,000

= 90%
