    The correct answer is A.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Machining

    Machine-hours 19,000

    Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $110,200

    Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $2.00

    We need to use the following formula:

    Estimated overhead = fixed costs + total variable costs

    Estimated overhead = 110,200 + 2*19,000

    Estimated overhead = $148,200
