Answer:

Allocated MOH= $8,844

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production= 670 boxes

Each box of tile requires 0.75 hours of direct labor.

Direct labor rate= $16 per hour.

Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs.

First, we need to determine the total direct labor costs:

Direct labor hours= 670*0.75= 502.5

Direct labor costs= 502.5*16= $8,040

To calculate the applied overhead, we need to use the following formula:

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

Allocated MOH= 1.1*8,040

Allocated MOH= $8,844
