Answer:

$35,84 per machine hour

Explanation:

Plantwide overhead rate = Budgeted overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity

where,

Budgeted overheads = $3,600,000 + $880,000 = $4,480,000

Budgeted Activity = 125,000 machine hours

therefore,

Plantwide overhead rate = $4,480,000 ÷ 125,000

                                         = $35,84 per machine hour
