Determine the predetermined overhead rate if the denominator level of activity is 3,800 machine-hours. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Predetermined Overhead Rate

An estimated rate used to allocate manufacturing overhead costs to individual products based on a relevant activity base, such as labor hours.

Indirect Labor

Workers or labor costs that support the production process but are not directly involved in the creation of the product.

Final Answer :
Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost = [(${{[a(1)]:#,##0.00}} per machine-hour + ${{[a(2)]:#,##0.00}} per machine-hour) × {{[a(5)]:#,###}} machine-hours] + (${{[a(3)]:#,###}} + ${{[a(4)]:#,###}}) = ${{[a(6)]:#,###}} + ${{[a(7)]:#,###}} = ${{[a(8)]:#,###}}
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost/Estimated total amount of the allocation base = ${{[a(8)]:#,###}} ÷ {{[a(5)]:#,###}} machine-hours = ${{[a(9)]:#,##0.00}} per machine-hour
