Answer:

Allocated MOH= $420

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= 210,000 / 10,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $21 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to Job 101:

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

Allocated MOH= 21*20

Allocated MOH= $420
