What will be an ideal response?
Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost = Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost + (Estimated variable overhead cost per unit of the allocation base × Estimated total amount of the allocation base) = $342,000 + ($2.70 per machine-hour × 60,000 machine-hours) = $342,000 + $162,000 = $504,000
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $504,000 ÷ 60,000 machine-hours = $8.40 per machine-hour
Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate × Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $8.40 per machine-hour × 140 machine-hours = $1,176
