    The company's plantwide overhead rate is $47.5

    Explanation:

    The total planned overhead costs for next year=$3,500,000+$870,000=$ 4,370,000.00

    machine hours as overhead allocation base is 92,000 hours

    company's plantwide overhead rate = total planned overhead/overhead allocation base (machine hours)

    company's plantwide overhead rate=4,370,000.00/92000=$47.5
