Answer:
Allocated MOH= $252,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= 240,000
Estimated machine hours= 300,000
Actual machine hours for the year were 315000 hours.
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 240,000/300,000= $0.8 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 0.8*315,000= $252,000
