Answer:

$35.67 per machine hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = Fixed predetermined overhead rate + variable predetermined overhead rate

where,

Fixed predetermine overhead rate = Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ Estimated machine hour

= $1,108,919 ÷ 37,100 machine hours

= $29.89 per machine hour

And, the Estimated variable manufacturing overhead is $5.78 per machine-hour

So, the Total predetermine overhead rate is

= $29.89 + $5.78

= $35.67 per machine hour
