Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

With regards to the above, first we need to compute the fixed manufacturing overhead.

Fixed manufacturing overhead

= Total fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ Total machine hours

= $344,000 ÷ 40,000

= $8.6 per machine hour

Calculation of overhead applied to Job M759

Variable manufacturing overhead

= 60 machine hours × $3.9

= $234

Fixed manufacturing overhead

= 60 machine hours × $8.6

= $516

Therefore, total overhead applied to job M759 is $750
