The first step is to calculate the estimated total overhead costs in the two departments.
Machining

 11eacbfc_c70a_4ee6_8ffe_61f2f38f0314_TB7552_00 The second step is to combine the estimated manufacturing overhead costs in the two departments ($52,500 + $12,900 = $65,400) to calculate the plantwide predetermined overhead rate as follow:
 11eacbfc_c70a_4ee7_8ffe_e31d13828c42_TB7552_00 The overhead applied to Job B is calculated as follows:
Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate × Machine-hours incurred by the job
= $6.54 per MH × (4,800 MHs + 1,200 MHs)
= $6.54 per MH × (6,000 MHs)
= $39,240
