Answer 2

Answer: 0.12

Explanation:

Given : Last month, a company had receipts totaling $3,700.

The company had overhead costs of $444.

Then , the rate of overhead is given by :-

`\text{Rate of overhead cost}=\frac{\text{Overhead cost }}{\text{Allocation measure for last month}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Rate of overhead cost}=(444)/(3700)\\\\=0.12`

Hence, the rate of overhead is 0.12
