Answer:

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Jeremy Corporation estimated manufacturing overhead costs for the year to be $500,000. Jeremy also estimated 8,000 machine hours and 2,000 direct labor hours for the year. It bases the predetermined overhead allocation rate on machine hours.

On January 31, Job 25 was completed. It required 6 machine hours and 1 direct labor hour.

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

predetermined overhead rate= total estimated overhead for the period/ total amount of allocation base

predetermined overhead rate= 500,000/8000= $62.5 per machine hour

Allocated overhead= predetermined overhead rate* actual hours= 62.5* 6= $375
