$68,600

Answer 1

Answer:

$68,600

Explanation:

An predetermined overhead of $70,000 was estimated for an activity of 2,500 hours. The actual overhead assigned to the products is given by multiplying the fraction of the total 2,500 hours of activity utilized by the products by the predetermined overhead:

$A = \frac{1,350+1,100}{2,500}*\ 70,000\\ A = \ 68,600$

The total amount of overhead assigned to the products is $68,600.
