Fabrication Finishing Total
Estimated total machine-hours (MHs) 4,000 1,000 5,000
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $30,000 $3,400 $33,400
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost
per machine-hour $2.00 $4.00
During the most recent month, the company started and completed two jobs--Job 14-X and Job 15-Z. There were no beginning inventories. Data concerning those two jobs follow:

Direct labor cost $21,600 $8,400
Fabrication machine-hours 2,700 1,300
