Explanation:

Manufacturing overhead for department 1 = $3,141,500

Direct labor hours for department 1 = 167,000

Direct machine hours for department 1 = 267,000

Manufacturing overhead for department 2 = $1,571,000

Direct labor hours for department 2 = 267,000

Direct machine hours for department 2 = 192,000

Total manufacturing overhead = $3,141,500 + $1,571,000 = $4,712,500

Total direct labor hours = 167,000 + 267,000 = 434,000

Total machine hours = 267,000 + 192,000 = 459,000

Pre- determined overhead rate per MH

= [tex]\frac{total\ manufacturing\ overhead}{total\ machine\ hours}[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{4,712,500}{459,000}[/tex]

= $10.27 per MH

Overhead rate per unit

= Pre-determined overhead rate per MH x Machine Hours required per unit

= $10.27 per MH x 0.70 MHs per unit

= $7.186 per unit
