To calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours:
Total estimated overhead costs = $1,152,000 + $612,000 = $1,764,000
Total estimated machine hours = 12,000 + 4,000 = 16,000
Predetermined overhead rate = Total estimated overhead costs / Total estimated machine hours
= $1,764,000 / 16,000 machine hours
= $110 per machine hour

To calculate the total manufacturing cost for each job:
Job A:
Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $18,000 + $27,000 + ($110 x 1,500 machine hours)
= $18,000 + $27,000 + $165,000
= $210,000

Job J:
Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $28,000 + $19,000 + ($110 x 2,500 machine hours)
= $28,000 + $19,000 + $275,000
= $322,000

To calculate the selling price for each job:
Job A:
Manufacturing cost x Markup
= $210,000 x 1.5
= $315,000

Job J:
Manufacturing cost x Markup
= $322,000 x 1.5
= $483,000

Therefore, the calculated selling price for Job A is closest to $82,461, which is option C.
