Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead costs= $130,000

Total sales= 201,000 + 314,900 + 154,100= $670,000

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 130,000 / 670,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.194 per sales dollar

Now, we can allocate overhead:

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

1= 201,000*0.194= 38,994

2= 314,900*0.194= 61,090.6

3= 154,100*0.194= 29,895.4
