The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Manufacturing overhead costs $30,000

Machine-hours = 100,000

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 = 30,000/100,000 = $0.3 per machine hour.
