    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = $9.5 per machine hour

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The Milling Department's predetermined overhead rate is based on machine-hours.

    Machine-hours 16,000

    total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 118,400

    Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 2.10

    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 = (118,400/16,000) + 2.1 = $9.5 per machine hour
