Answer:

$1.70

Explanation:

Note : Quick Step Company uses direct labor hours as the allocation base

therefore,

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = Budgeted overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity

                                                                            = $425,800 ÷ 250,200

                                                                            = $1.70

Therefore, the Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate would be $1.70
