    The correct answer is B.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Casting:

    Total Estimated total machine-hours (MHs) 3,000 Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 17,700

    Estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost per MH $ 1.50

    To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = total estimated overhead costs for the period / total amount of allocation base

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = (17,700/3,000) + 1.50 = $7.4 per machine hour
