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) = $294,000 + ($2.30 per machine-hour × 70,000 machine-hours) = $294,000 + $161,000 = $455,000
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $455,000 ÷ 70,000 machine-hours = $6.50 per machine-hour
Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate x Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $6.50 per machine-hour × 80 machine-hours = $520
