Answer:
Total allocated overhead= $11,435
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Materials handling $196,000 4,900 pounds
Machine setup $19,600 560 setups
Machine repair $1,600 32,000 machine hours
Inspections $16,500 330 inspections
Job 971
Direct labor 20 hours
Direct materials 220 pounds
Machine setup 30 setups
Machine hours 16,700 machine hours
Inspections 15 inspections
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate for each activity:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 196,000/4,900= $40 per pound
Machine setup= 19,600/560= $35 per setup
Machine repair= 1,600/32,000= $0.05 per machine hour
Inspections= 16,500/330= $50 per inspection
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 40*220= 8,800
Machine setup= 35*30= 1,050
Machine repair= 0.05*16,700=835
Inspections= 50*15= 750
Total allocated overhead= $11,435
