First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate using the given formula.

Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated Total Manufacturing Overhead Cost / Estimated Total Machine Hours
Predetermined Overhead Rate = $860,000 / 17,200 hours
Predetermined Overhead Rate = $50 per machine hour

Next, we need to calculate the total manufacturing cost for each job using the given data.

Total Manufacturing Cost = Direct Materials Cost + Direct Labor Cost + Manufacturing Overhead Cost
Job C's Total Manufacturing Cost = $55,000 + $60,000 + ($50 x 1,200) = $175,000
Job H's Total Manufacturing Cost = $38,000 + $45,000 + ($50 x 1,800) = $173,000

Then, we need to calculate the selling price for each job using the given markup of 40% on manufacturing cost.

Selling Price = Total Manufacturing Cost x (1 + Markup)
Job C's Selling Price = $175,000 x (1 + 0.4) = $245,000
Job H's Selling Price = $173,000 x (1 + 0.4) = $242,200

Therefore, the calculated selling price for Job C is closest to $88,172 (option B).
