The total amount of manufacturing overhead applied to production is:
A) $1,547,000
B) $576,000
C) $624,000
D) $674,000
Estimated total manufacturing overhead = $624,000
Estimated direct labour hours = 39,000 hours
Lister actual direct labour hours = 36,000 hours

Predetermined overhead rate
= estimated total manufacturing overhead / estimated total allocation base
Predetermined overhead rate
= 624,000 / 39,000 = $16
Overhead applied = Actual direct labour hours × predetermined overhead rate
Overhead applied = 36,000 × 16 = $576,000
The total amount of manufacturing overhead applied is $576,000.
