Harwood Company uses a job-order costing system that applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of machine-hours. The company's predetermined overhead rate of $2.60 per machine-hour was based on a cost formula that estimates $260,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 100,000 machine-hours.
