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) = $252,000 + ($2.10 per machine-hour × 30,000 machine-hours) = $252,000 + $63,000 = $315,000
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base = $315,000 ÷ 30,000 machine-hours = $10.50 per machine-hour
Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate x Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $10.50 per machine-hour × 30 machine-hours = $315
