a. $650

Explanation:

The computation of amount of overhead is shown below:-

Total variable manufacturing overhead = per direct labor-hour * direct labor-hours

= $3.5 * 30,000

= $105,000

Total manufacturing overhead = Total variable manufacturing overhead + Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost

= $105,000 + $90,000

= $195,000

Predetermined overhead rate = Total manufacturing overhead : direct labor-hours

= $195,000 : $30,000

= $6.5

Amount of overhead applied to Job A477 = Total direct labor-hours * Predetermined overhead rate

= 100 * $6.5

= $650
