Answer:
the allocation rate is $3 per machine hour
Explanation:
Step 1 Find the to total Machine hours
Total Machine Hours
3.0×15,000  =  45,000
5.0×20,000  = 100,000
Total        = 145,000
Step 2 Determine the Overhead allocation rate
Overhead allocation rate = Budgeted Overheads / Total Machine Hours
                     = $435,000/145,000
                     =$3 per machine hour
Answer:
Allocation rate  = $3 per machine hour
Explanation:
Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers. Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.
Activity rate is calculated as:
Activity overhead for the period / Total cost drivers for the period
Total machine hours = (15,000 ×3hrs)  +( 20,000 × 5 hrs)
            = 145,000 hours
Overhead rate per machine her
= $435,000/145000 hours
= $3 per hour
