Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Milling Department overhead cost = Fixed manufacturing overhead cost + (Variable overhead cost per machine-hour × Total machine-hours in the department)
= $113,400 + ($1.60 per machine-hour × 18,000 machine-hours)
= $113,400 +$28,800 = $142,200
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated total amount of the allocation base incurred = $142,200 ÷ 18,000 machine-hours = $7.90 per machine-hour
Overhead applied to a particular job = Predetermined overhead rate × Amount of the allocation base incurred by the job = $7.90 per machine-hour × 60 machine-hours = $474
