Answer 1

Answer:

$9.14 per machine hour

Explanation:

Fixed predetermine overhead rate:

= Fixed manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Machine hours required to support estimated production

= 660,000 ÷ 152,000

= 4.34 per machine hour

Variable predetermine overhead rate = $ 4.80 per machine hour

Total predetermine overhead rate:

= Fixed predetermine overhead rate + Variable predetermine overhead rate

= ($4.34 + $ 4.80)

= $9.14 per machine hour
