Answer:

Option D is correct

Activity rate for the Labor-Related activity cost pool= $28.08 per DLH

Explanation:

Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers.

Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.  

Activity rate per driver is calculated as:  

Activity overhead for the period / Total cost drivers for the period

Activity rate for the Labor-Related activity cost pool

= Labour related overheads/Total labour hours

=  $ 337,018 /12,000 labour hours

= $28.08 per Direct labour hour

Activity rate for the Labor-Related activity cost pool= $28.08 per DLH
