The management of Featheringham Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity. The company's controller has provided an example to illustrate how this new system would work. In this example, the allocation base is machine-hours and the estimated amount of the allocation base for the upcoming year is 62,000 machine-hours. Capacity is 75,000 machine-hours and the actual level of activity for the year is assumed to be 59,000 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and both the estimated amount at the beginning of the year and the actual amount at the end of the year are assumed to be $2,836,500 per year. It is assumed that a number of jobs were worked on during the year, one of which was Job Z77W which required 410 machine-hours.If the company bases its predetermined overhead rate on capacity, then the amount of manufacturing overhead charged to job Z77W is closest to:

Adelberg Corporation makes two products: Product A and Product B. Annual production and sales are 2,000 units of Product A and 2,000 units of Product B. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.4 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.2 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $107,650.The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory--with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows: (Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.) The overhead cost per unit of Product B under the activity-based costing system is closest to:
