Machine-hours required to support estimated production		150,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost	$	653,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour	$	4.90

Required:

1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

2. During the year Job 500 was started and completed. The following information was available with respect to this job:

Direct materials requisitioned	$	350
Direct labor cost	$	260
Machine-hours used		36

Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job 500. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
