    The correct answer is A.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The estimated machine-hours for the upcoming year at 79,000 machine-hours.

    The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $7.38 per machine-hour

    The estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $2,347,090.

    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 = 2,347,090/79,000 + 7.38 = $37.09 per machine-hour
