Answer:

predetermined overhead allocation rate is $228 per hour

Explanation:

given data

Estimated over head costs = $8,000,000

Estimated machine hours = 35,000

actual machine hours = 31,000

to find out

predetermined overhead allocation rate

solution

we know that predetermined overhead allocation rate is express as

predetermined overhead allocation rate = [tex]\frac{estimate overhead cost}{estimate machine hour}[/tex]

put here value

predetermined overhead allocation rate = [tex]\frac{8000000}{35000}[/tex]

predetermined overhead allocation rate = $228.571

so predetermined overhead allocation rate is $228 per hour
