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) = $624,000 + ($3.10 per machine-hour × 80,000 machine-hours) = $624,000 + $248,000 = $872,000
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $872,000 ÷ 80,000 machine-hours = $10.90 per machine-hour
Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate × Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $10.90 per machine-hour × 300 machine-hours = $3,270
