Predetermined Departmental Overhead Rates, Applying Overhead to Production

At the beginning of the year, Hallett Company estimated the following:

	Cutting Department	Sewing Department	Total
Overhead	$245,800		$353,000	$598,800
Direct labor hours	31,200		101,100	132,300
Machine hours	155,800		—	155,800
