Answer:

$2.25 per hour

Explanation:

Given that,

Total estimated overhead costs = $283,725

Estimated machine usage = 126,100 hours

Overhead costs are incurred = $303,850

Hours used = 130,200

Manufacturing overhead rate:

= Total estimated overhead costs ÷ Estimated machine usage

= $283,725 ÷ 126,100 hours

= $2.25 per hour

Therefore, the manufacturing overhead rate for the year is $2.25 per hour.
