Machine-hours required to support estimated production . . . . 165,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1,980,000
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour . . . . . $2.00

Required:
1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
2. During the year, Job P90 was started, completed, and sold to the customer for $2,500. The following information was available with respect to this job:

Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90.
