Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined plantwide overhead rate:

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

total estimated overhead costs for the period= $1,320,000

total amount of allocation base= 100,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,320,000 / 100,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $13.2 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:

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

Part A27C:

Allocated MOH= 13.2*(5,500 + 700)

Allocated MOH= $81,840

Part X82B:

Allocated MOH= 13.2*(2,150 + 3,500)

Allocated MOH= $74,580
