Answer 1

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the activity rate for each activity:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Machining= 312,000/80,000= $3.9 per machine hour

Designing costs= 73,600/8,000= $9.2 per design hour

Setup costs= 71,600/500= $143.2 per batch

Now, we can allocate overhead to each product:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Product A:

Machining= 3.9*30,000= 117,000

Designing costs= 9.2*3,200= 29,440

Setup costs= 143.2*50= 7,160

Total overhead= $153,600

Product B:

Machining= 3.9*40,000= 156,000

Designing costs= 9.2*1,800= 16,560

Setup costs= 143.2*175= 25,060

Total overhead= $197,620

Product C:

Machining= 3.9*10,000= 39,000

Designing costs= 9.2*3,000= 27,600

Setup costs= 143.2*275= 39,380

Total overhead= $105,980
