Answer:

Allocated MOH= $7,000

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= 217,000 / 31,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $7 per machine hour

Job 45:

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

Allocated MOH= 7*1,000

Allocated MOH= $7,000
