Answer:

Allocated MOH= $768

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (555,000/74,000) + 2.1

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9.6 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to Job A496:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 9.6*80

Allocated MOH= $768
