    overhead 720,000

    Explanation:

    We are asked for traditional costing:

    so we need to find the rate adn the cost driver

    rate $60 MO per machine hour

    "total of 12,000 machine hours in April"

    rate x machine hours = applied overhead

    60 x 12,000 = 720,000

    the data related to ABC costing is not relevant to the question. we are asked for traditional costing.
