Predetermined overhead rate = $40.38 per machine hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Arabica Manufacturing uses a predetermined overhead allocation rate based on the number of machine hours.

At the beginning of the year, it estimated:

Total manufacturing overhead costs to be $1,050,000 .

Total number of direct labor hours to be 5,000 .

Total number of machine hours to be 26,000 hours.

Predetermined overhead rate = total estimated overhead for the period / total amount of allocation base

Predetermined overhead rate = 1050000/26000 = $40.38 per machine hour
