In this case, the works overhead is Rs 40,000 and the total machine hours is 8500 hours. Therefore, the machine rate is Rs 40,000 / 8500 hours = Rs 2 per hour.
Option B is incorrect because it is the machine rate per hour of machine setting, not per hour of machine operation. Option C is incorrect because it is the machine rate per hour of machine operation plus the machine setting time. Option D is incorrect because it is the machine rate per hour of machine operation plus the machine setting time plus the works overhead.
