Answer:

C. $256,058.

Explanation:

George Chemicals uses machine hours for overhead allocation,

Estimated manufacturing overhead cost is $235,700,

Actual manufacturing cost is $244,400

Estimated Machine hours 20,800

Actual Machine hours 22,600

To identify predetermined Manufacturing overhead allocation rate per machine hour :

Estimated manufacturing overhead cost / Estimated Machine hours

$235,700 / 20,800 = $11.33 per machine hour.

Overhead allocation rate * Actual machine hours

$11.33 per machine hour * 22,600 machine hours

= $256,058.
