Answer:

overhead rate will be equal to $62 per machine hour

So option (B) will be correct option

Explanation:

We have given total overhead for the current year will be $15500000 with total 250000 machine hours.

And actual overhead is $16000000 and actual machine hour is 330000 hours

We have to find the overhead rate based on machine hour

Overhead rate is the ratio of estimated overhead to estimated total machine hours

So overhead rate [tex]=\frac{15500000}{250000}=62[/tex] $ per machine hour

So overhead rate will be equal to $62 per machine hour

So option (B) will be correct option
