    The correct answer is C.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Total Estimated total machine-hours (MHs) 10,000

    Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost = $45,800

    Total Estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost - per MH = $1.90 + $2.10 = $4

    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 FIXED manufacturing overhead rate = (45,800/10,000) = $4.58
