Respuesta :

Answer:

$3.5 per machine hour.

Explanation:

Per the above, we will need to calculate first Estimated manufacturing overhead , which is given as;

Estimated manufacturing overhead = Salary of production supervisor + Indirect materials + Rent on factory equipment

= $35,000 + $5,000 + $16,000

= $56,000

Predetermined overhead rate

= Estimated manufacturing overhead / Estimated machine hours

= $56,000 / 16,000 hours

= $3.50 per machine hour
