Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 30,000 / 50,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.6 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 06*500

Allocated MOH= $300

Finally, total production costs:

Total cost= 600 + 150 + 300

Total cost= $1,050
