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

	Casting	Assembly	Total
Estimated total machine-hours (MHs)	8,000	2,000	10,000
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead cost	$ 44,000	$ 4,200	$ 48,200
Estimated variable manufacturing overhead cost per MH	$ 1.90	$ 3.00

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

	Job A	Job H
Casting machine-hours	5,400	2,600
Assembly machine-hours	800	1,200
