Answer:

A: $1,475,000

Explanation:

The computation of the overhead applied is shown below:

But before that first determine the predetermined overhead rate which is

= Estimated annual overhead cost ÷ Estimated machine hours

= $1,500,000 ÷ 300,000

= $5

Now the applied overhead is

= Predetermined overhead rate × Actual machine hours

= $5 × 295,000

= $1,475,000
