Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $800,000
Total estimated direct labor hours= 4,000
Direct labor hours Beta= 1,200
To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 800,000/4,000= $200 per hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to Beta:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 200*1,200= $240,000
