Answer 1

The correct answer is C: $100,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Trust Company applies overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, Trust estimates overhead to be $700,000, and direct labor hours to be 35,000. During February, Trust has 5,000 direct labor hours.

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base= 700000/35000= $20 per direct labor hour

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base= 20*5000= $100,000
