Answer 1

Answer:

$195,509

Explanation:

The computation of the applied manufacturing overhead is shown below:

But before that the predetermined overhead rate is

= Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ estimated machine hours

= $202,600 ÷ 2,000

= $101.30

Now the applied overhead is

= Actual machine hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 1,930 × $101.30

= $195,509
