    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = $3 per machine hour

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Machine Hours Per Unit:

    Rings = 6 (1,000 units)

    Dings = 11 (2,040 units)

    All of the machine hours take place in the Fabrication Department, which has an estimated total factory overhead of $85,200.

    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 = 85,200 / (6,000 + 11*2,040) = $3 per machine hour
