Answer 1

allocated manufacturing overhead= $285,100

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Work in Process Oct. 1 Balance 20,200

Direct materials 90,300

Direct labor 152,300

Factory overhead X

Goods finished 348,800

Work in Process on October 31 is $199,100

To calculate the factory overhead applied, we need to use the following formula:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

348,800 = 20,200 + 90,300 + 152,300 + allocated manufacturing overhead - 199,100

allocated manufacturing overhead= 348,800 - 20,200 - 90,300 - 152,300 + 199,100

allocated manufacturing overhead= $285,100
