Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
To calculate the predetermined overhead rate per labour dollar, we need to divide the total overhead costs by the professional labour costs.
Predetermined overhead rate = Total overhead costs / Professional labour costs
Predetermined overhead rate = $24 000 / $60 000
Predetermined overhead rate = $0.40
Therefore, the answer is C.
