predetermined overhead rate= Estimated total overhead cost/Estimated total amount of the allocation base

predetermined overhead rate= (0.7*8370000+5022000)/ 8370000

predetermined overhead rate= 10881000/8370000= 1.3

Direct materials $ 1,420,000

Direct labor cost $ 2,511,000

Overhead= 2511000*1.3= 3,264,300

Yancey applies its overhead cost to films based on direct labor dollars.

1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate.

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{Predetermined overhead rate}&=\frac{\text{Estimated total overhead cost}}{\text{Estimated total amount of the allocation base}}\\\text{Predetermined overhead rate}&= \frac{0.7\times8,370,000+5,022,000}{8,370,000}\\\text{Predetermined overhead rate}&= \frac{10,881,000}{8,370,000}\\&= 1.3\end{aligned}[/tex]

2. Compute the total job cost for this particular film.

Direct materials =$ 1,420,000

Direct labor cost= $ 2,511,000

[tex]\text{Overhead}= 2511000\times1.3= 3,264,300[/tex]

 Total cost= $7,195,300
