You need to figure out your predetermined overhead rate. This is only done with the numbers you estimate. Since overhead is applied based off direct labor hours your rate is. 300,000 / 200,000 = 1.5.

When you eventually apply overhead the actual amount of overhead cost is irrelevant. Your end up applying 315,000 (1.5 * 210,000 direct labor dollars).

So 315,000 + 210,000 + 550,000 = 1,075,000 ... answer
