Acme Cоmpаny uses а predetermined оverheаd rate based оn direct labor hours to apply manufacturing overhead costs to jobs. Before the year started, Acme estimated that its total annual manufacturing overhead costs would be $375,000 and its total annual direct labor hours would be 12,500. After the year ended, Acme determined that its actual manufacturing overhead costs for the year were $382,000 and the amount of overapplied overhead was $14,000. What is the number of actual direct labor hours for the year? Round to the nearest whole number and do not enter a decimal point (e.g., enter 89, not 89.1).
