Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company manufactures two types of go-karts: fast and standard.

Activity Expected / Costs Expected:

Handling materials $ 690,000 230,000 parts

Inspecting product 736,000 1,280 batches

Processing purchase orders 170,000 1,360 orders

Paying suppliers 240,000 640 invoices

Ensuring the factory 430,000 53,750 square feet

Designing packaging 88,000 2 models

1) Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Total estimated overhead= 690,000 + 736,000 + 170,000 + 240,000 + 430,000 + 88,000= 2,354,000

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 2,354,000/110,000= $21.4 per direct labor hour.

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

Fast= 21.4*3,500= $74,900

Standard= 21.4*7,000= $149,800
