    Option B,$ 3,595.00 is correct

    Explanation:

    The sum of both fixed and variable manufacturing overhead gives the below amount:

    total overhead=$155,000 + ($3.40*50,000) = $ 325,000.00

    Plantwide predetermined overhead rate=total overhead/machine hours=$325,000.00/50,000.00=$6.50

    The job cost = (100*$6.50) + $645+$2,300=$650+$645+$2,300=$ 3,595.00

    The correct option is B $ 3,595.00

    Option C shows that the total job cost is sum of direct labor cost plus the overhead which is wrong.

    Option D showed that the total cost is the sum of direct labor cost plus the direct material which is also wrong
