    The correct answe is B.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Forming Finishing Total

    Estimated total machine-hours (MHs) 7,000 3,000 10,000

    Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 40,600 $ 8,100 $ 48,700

    Estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost per MH $ 1.30 $ 2.80

    To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate for the whole plant 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 = (48,700/10,000) = $4.87 per machine-hour
