    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = $1.53 per machine hour

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The company allocates manufacturing overhead using a single plantwide rate with machine hours as the allocation base.

    The estimated overhead costs for the year are $ 104,000.

    Machine hours (MHr) = 27,000 + 41,000 = 68,000 machine hours

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = total estimated overhead costs for the period / total amount of allocation base

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = 104,000/68,000 = $1.53 per machine hour
