Expert Solution

Answer to Part 1.

Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead/Direct labor hours

                                                  =$3,412,240/221,000

                                                  =$15.44

Answer to Part 2.

Overhead Applied = Predetermined Overhead Rate * Actual Direct Labor Hours
    = $15.44 * 400

                              =$6,176

Answer to Part 3.

Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead/Machine hours

                                                  =$3,412,240/598,639

                                                  =$5.70

Answer to Part 4.

Overhead Applied = Predetermined Overhead Rate * Actual machine Hours   

                             = $5.70 * 630
