Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Predetermined overhead rate $ 23.60 per machine-hour

Actual activity level 28,100 machine-hours

We already have a predetermined overhead rate. All we have to do is allocate overhead based on the actual machine hours:

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

Allocated MOH= 23.6*28,100= $663,160
