Answer 1

Total allocated costs= $53,070

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the allocation rates using the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Quality control= 77,000 / 1,100 = $70 per inspection

Machine operation= 153,000 / 1,500 = $102 per machine hour

Materials handling= 1,200 / 30 = $40 per batch

Miscellaneous overhead cost= 57,000 / 5,700= $10 per labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Quality control= 70*295= 20,650

Machine operation= 102*240= 24,480

Materials handling= 40*6= 240

Miscellaneous overhead cost= 10*770= 7,700

Total allocated costs= $53,070
