    The correct answer is A.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Dept. A Dept. B

    Direct labor cost $ 63,000 $ 40,000

    Manufacturing overhead $ 80,010 $ 68,450

    Machine-hours 4,700 18,500

    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

    Departement A:

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = 80,100/63,000 = $1.127 per direct labor cost

    In % terms = 127% of direct labor cost.

    Department B:

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = 68,450/18,500 = $3.7 per machine hours
