Answer:

B) $62 per machine hour

Explanation:

To calculate the overhead rate per hour we solve the following equation:

overhead rate per hour = $15,500,000 / 250,000 machine hours = $62 per machine hour

if we compare this current rate per machine hour to last year's rate per machine = $16,000,000 / 300,000 machine hours = $53.33, we can determine that Thomlin is overapplying overhead expenses ($62 > $53.33).
