| Particulars | Machining | Customizing |
| No of machine hours | 80 | 30 |
| No of labour hours | 30 | 50 |
| Variable overheads applied | 80x$3 = $240 | 50x$6 = $300 |
| Fixed overheads applied | $107500/25000x80=$344 | $69700/5000x50=$697 |
| Total Overheads Applied | $240+$344 = $584 | $300+$697 = $997 |
