    The correct answer is A.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    A company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $8,268,000 for indirect labor and $161,600 for factory utilities. The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base. 400,000 machine hours are planned for this next year.

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

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = (8,268,000 + 161,600) / 400,000 = $21.07 per machine hour.
