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) = $162,000 + ($2.80 per direct labor-hour × 60,000 direct labor-hours) = $162,000 + $168,000 = $330,000
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $330,000 ÷ 60,000 direct labor-hours = $5.50 per direct labor-hour
Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate × Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $5.50 per direct labor-hour × 50 direct labor-hours = $275
