Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Plantwide predetermined overhead rate of $23.20 per direct labor-hour.

Estimated $278,400 of total manufacturing overhead cost.

Estimated activity level of 12,000 direct labor-hours.

The company incurred actual total manufacturing overhead costs of $269,000 and 12,100 total direct labor-hours during the period.

Manufacturing overhead cost applied = actual direct labor hours * predetermined overhead rate

Manufacturing overhead cost applied = 12100 * 23.20 = $280,720
