"Baldwin Printing Company uses a job order costing system and applies overhead based on machine hours. A total of 150,000 machine hours have been budgeted for the year. During the year, an order for 1,000 units was completed and incurred the following:"
Direct material costs	$1,000
Direct labor costs	1,500
Actual overhead	1,980
Machine hours	450

"The accountant calculated the inventory cost of this order to be $4.30 per unit. The annual
budgeted overhead in dollars was"

Answer (B) is correct.
The results from the production run of 1,000 units allow Baldwin to
calculate its per-unit costs for materials ($1,000 ÷ 1,000 units = $1.00)
and labor ($1,500 ÷ 1,000 units = $1.50). Overhead can then be derived
as follows:
Total cost per unit $4.30
Less: direct materials (1.00)
Less: direct labor (1.50)
Overhead per unit $1.80
The number of machine hours required to manufacture a single unit is .45
(450 hours ÷ 1,000 units). Therefore, $1.80 represents 45% of the cost of
a machine hour ($1.80 ÷ .45 = $4.00). Since 150,000 hours were
budgeted, total budgeted overhead for the year was $600,000 (150,000
hours × $4.00 per hour).
