    variable overhead rate 11.96 dollars

    Explanation:

    5,189,000 manufacturing overhead from which:

    2,486,000 are fixed so:

    variable overhead: 5,189,000 - 2,486,000 = 2,703,000

    this overhead is generated from machine hours thus we divide the expected overhead over the machine hours to know the rate.

    2,703,000 / 226,000 = 11.96017699 = $ 11.96 variable overhead rate
