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) = $90,000 + ($3.50 per direct labor-hour × 30,000 direct labor-hours) = $90,000 + $105,000 = $195,000
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $195,000 ÷ 30,000 direct labor-hours = $6.50 per direct labor-hour
Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate × Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $6.50 per direct labor-hour × 100 direct labor-hours = $650
