Answer 1

a) Manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process for the month was $70,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

The total of the Manufacturing Overhead account = $58,000 i.e incurred

And, the total of credit to the account = $70,000 i.e applied amount

So according to the given data, the manufacturing overhead should be applied to the work in process with the total credit amount i.e $70,000

Hence, the first option is correct
