Final answer:

The calculated total overhead cost for titanium racquets using a single overhead rate based on labor hours is $1,800, which does not match any of the options provided. There might be a typo or missing information in the question.

The correct option is not given.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the total overhead costs assigned to titanium racquets using a single overhead rate based on labor hours. From the information provided, we need to add the labor cost of technology 1, technology 2, and technology 3 to get the total overhead costs. Each technology's labor cost is calculated by multiplying the number of hours by the worker's cost.


  • Cost of technology 1: 10 × $90 = $900

  • Cost of technology 2: 7 × $90 = $630

  • Cost of technology 3: 3 × $90 = $270

Adding these amounts gives us the total overhead costs: $900 + $630 + $270 = $1,800. However, the question asked for a selection from given choices, and none of them matches the calculated total. There might be a typo or missing information in the question. Under normal circumstances, the calculated total overhead cost should match one of the given options:


  • A) $60,000

  • B) $63,000

  • C) $75,000

  • D) $84,000

Since none of these match the calculated total of $1,800, further information might be required to provide the correct answer from the provided options.

The correct option is not given.
