    Instructions are listed below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    790,000 units are expected to be produced taking 0.75 machine hours each.

    We weren't provided with enough information to solve the requirement. But, I will give the formulas necessary to guide an answer and a small example.

    First, we need to calculate the total amount of machine-hours required:

    Total machine hours = 790,000*0.75 = 592,500 hours.

    Let us suppose that the estimated manufacturing overhead is $850,000.

    To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

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

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = 850,000/592,500 = $1.44 per machine hour

    Now, we can allocate overhead:

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

    Allocated MOH = 1.44*0.75 hours = $1.08 per unit
