Giving the following information:

Thomlin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $11,898,000 with 156,000 total machine hours.

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 11,898,000 / 156,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $76.27 per machine hour
