Answer:
56,000 machine hours
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Monthly budgeted manufacturing overhead = $180,000 + 3 per machine hours
Total budgeted manufacturing overhead costs = $348,000 for the month
Now,
Let the actual level of activity achieved during the month be 'x'
Therefore,
Total budgeted manufacturing overhead costs = $180,000 + 3(x)
or
$348,000 = $180,000 + $3(x)
or
$3x = $348,000 - $180,000
or
$3x = $168,000
or
x = 56,000 machine hours
