Total overhead applied $

Answer 1

Total allocated overhead= $2,081,094

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

For 2017, the company had 11,300 orders and used 51,200 machine hours, and labor hours totaled 491,000

Overhead rates for each activity:

Ordering and receiving= $7.22 per order

Food processing= $7.79 per machine hour

Packaging= $3.26 per labor hour

To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:

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

Ordering and receiving= 7.22*11,300= $81,586

Food processing= 7.79*51,200= $398,848

Packaging= 3.26*491,000= $1,600,660

Total overhead= $2,081,094
