Answer 1

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step 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.
