Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9.8 per machine hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Machine-hours= 50,000

Manufacturing overhead= $490,000

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

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 490,000/50,000= $9.8 per machine hour
