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
