    Answer: $2.81 per machine hour

    Explanation:

    Wages and salaries $ 423,000

    Activity cost pools 10%

    Allocated amount = 10% of $423000

    = 0.1 * 423000

    = $42,300

    Depreciation = $112,000

    Activity cost pools 10%

    Allocated amount = 10% of 112,000

    = 0.1 * 112000

    = $11200

    Occupancy 154,000

    Activity cost pools 20%

    Allocated amount = 20% of 154000

    = 0.2 * 154000

    = $30800

    Total allocated amount = $42300 + $11200 + $30800 = $84300

    The cost hour is the machine hour which is 30,000

    Rate per machine hour = total allocated amount/machine hour

    = 84300/30000

    = $2.81 per machine hour
