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) = $35,000 + ($2.20 per machine-hour × 10,000 machine-hours) = $35,000 + $22,000 = $57,000
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $57,000 ÷ 10,000 machine-hours = $5.70 per machine-hour
Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate × Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $5.70 per machine-hour × 40 machine-hours = $228
