Multiple Choice $0.0259 per machine hour. $34.93 per machine hour. $38.60 per machine hour. $3.67 per machine hour. $0.2727 per machine hour.

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $5,240,000 for indirect labor and $550,000 for factory utilities.

The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base.

Estimated machine hours= 150,000 machine hours.

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (5,240,000+550,000)/150,000= $38.6 per machine hour.

if you do not file your taxes you will not have a job, and you credit rate will go down.
