Respuesta :

Answer:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $22 per machine hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Provenzano Corporation manufactures two products: Product B56Z and Product D32N. The company is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools.

Machining:

Total Cost= 330,000

Total Activity:  Machine-hours= 15,000

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 330,000/15,000= $22 per machine hour
