Merati Corporation has two manufacturing departments--Forming and Assembly. The company used the following data at the beginning of the year to calculate predetermined overhead rates:

	Forming	Assembly	Total
Estimated total machine-hours (MHs)	5,000	5,000	10,000
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost	$ 28,000	$ 10,500	$ 38,500
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost per MH	$ 1.80	$ 2.60

During the most recent month, the company started and completed two jobs--Job B and Job L. There were no beginning inventories. Data concerning those two jobs follow:

	Job B	Job L
Forming machine-hours	3,400	1,600
Assembly machine-hours	2,000	3,000
