Answer 1

the applied overhead is $38,788.24

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount of overhead applied is given below:

0.70 ÷ 1.70 × applied overhead + $23,900 + $71,700 = $39,190 + $150,610

0.70 ÷ 1.70 × applied overhead = $94,200

applied overhead is

= $38,788.24

Hence, the applied overhead is $38,788.24
