Answer:

Allocated MOH= $220

Explanation:

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate=  (2,890,000 + 850,000) / 85,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $44 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

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

Allocated MOH= 44*5

Allocated MOH= $220
