Answer:

$266,647

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Moves = sum of total expected material moves of modular homes and prefab barns

= 580 + 180

= 760 Moves

Material handling cost allocated to Modular homes:

= (Expected total materials handling cost ÷ Total moves) × total expected material moves of modular homes

= ($349,400 ÷ 760) × 580

= $266,647

If the materials handling cost is allocated on the basis of material moves, the total materials handling cost allocated to the modular homes is closest to: $266,647
