Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the plantwide predetermine manufacturing overhead rate:

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

total estimated overhead costs for the period= (625,000 + 900,000 + 105,000 + 175,000 + 300,000 + 75,000)

total estimated overhead costs for the period= $2,180,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,180,000 / 125,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $17.44 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:

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

Deluxe:

Allocated MOH= 17.44*2,500

Allocated MOH= $43,600

Basic:

Allocated MOH= 17.44*6,000

Allocated MOH= $104,640
