Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Pinacle Corp. budgeted $242,600 of overhead cost for the current year.

Estimated machine hours= 51,060 hours

To calculate the predetermined 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=  242,600 / 51,060

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $4.75 per machine hour
