Answer 1

"$158400" is the appropriate answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Variable overhead:

= $8 per hour

Fixed overhead:

= $10 per hour

Variable overhead incurred:

= $167,750

Fixed overhead incurred:

= $210,000

Machined worked,

= 19,800 hours

Now,

The amount of variable overhead will be:

=
`Machine \ worked* Variable \ overhead`

On substituting the values, we get

=
`19800* 8`

=
`158400` ($)
