Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of manufacturing overhead allocated for the year based on machine hours would have been​ $268,087

Explanation:

For computing the manufacturing overhead amount, first, we have to compute the predetermined overhead rate. The formula is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $238,700 ÷ 20,200 hours

= $11.81

Now the manufacturing overhead equal to

= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 22,700 hours × $11.81

= $268,087
