Explanation:

The following information is missing in the question:

Direct labor hours worked 370

Machine hours used 530

Direct labor rate per hour $18

Predetermined overhead rate based on machine hour $16

The computation is shown below:

Manufacturing overhead allocated = Predetermined overhead rate × Machine hours used
