Answer 1

$1,290,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Goo:

Ordering and Receiving = 400 / 2,000 = 20%

Mixing = 20,000 / 50,000 = 40%

Testing = 500 / 1,500 = 33.33%

allocated overhead costs:

Ordering and Receiving = 20% x $1,200,000 = $240,000

Mixing = 40% x $1,500,000 = $600,000

Testing = 33.33% x $1,350,000 = $450,000

total allocated overhead costs = $1,290,000
