Answer:

Budgeted overhead= $2,877.6

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor required:

Production= 870 units

Direct labor hours= 870*0.25= 218 hours

Direct labor cost= $12 an hour

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

To calculate the allocated overhead for the period, we need to use the following formula:

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

Direct labor cost= 218*12= $2,616

Allocated MOH= 1.1*2,616= $2,877.6
