    Explanation:

    We must use for each department their overhead rate.

    Then, we will add the overhead applied in the two department.

    JOB A216

    Casting overhead Machine hours 3

    51 per machine hour casting department

    Applied overhead

    3 x 51 = 408

    Finishing overhead Labour hours 14

    25 direct labour finishing department

    Applied overhead

    14 x 25 = 350

    Total overhead 350 Casting + 408 Finishing = 758

    Next, we move to the other two cost components.

    Direct Labor (8 casting + 14 finishing) * 42 = 22*42=924

    Direct Materials 2,000

    Total Cost 3,682
