    Total cost = $1,375

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The budgeted factory overhead last year was $200,000, and there were 40,000 machine hours budgeted.

    Job 84:

    Direct materials = $900

    direct labor hours = 25

    Direct labor cost = $350.

    First, we need to calculate the manufacturing overhead rate based on direct labor hours:

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = total estimated overhead costs for the period / total amount of allocation base

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = 200,000/40,000 = $5 per direct labor hour

    Now, we can calculate the total cost:

    Total cost = direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

    Total cost = 900 + 350 + 5*25 = $1,375
