First, we need to calculate the manufacturing costs of Job A and Job J:

Manufacturing Cost = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Overhead

For Job A: 
Direct Materials = $24,930 
Direct Labor = $5,650 
Overhead = Machining OH Rate x Machining Machine-Hours + Customizing OH Rate x Customizing Machine-Hours 
= $18.00 x 1,000 MH + $15.00 x 700 MH 
= $18,000 + $10,500 
= $28,500

Manufacturing Cost for Job A = $24,930 + $5,650 + $28,500 = $59,080

For Job J: 
Direct Materials = $78,300 
Direct Labor = $9,000 
Overhead = Machining OH Rate x Machining Machine-Hours + Customizing OH Rate x Customizing Machine-Hours 
= $18.00 x 2,000 MH + $15.00 x 1,200 MH 
= $36,000 + $18,000 
= $54,000

Manufacturing Cost for Job J = $78,300 + $9,000 + $54,000 = $141,300

Next, we need to calculate the total cost and selling price for each job, using the 50% markup:

Total Cost = Manufacturing Cost x 150% 
Selling Price = Total Cost

For Job A: 
Total Cost = $59,080 x 150% = $88,620 
Selling Price for Job A = $88,620

For Job J: 
Total Cost = $141,300 x 150% = $211,950 
Selling Price for Job J = $211,950

Therefore, the calculated selling price for Job A is closest to $82,785 (rounded to the nearest dollar), and the correct answer is C.
