Respuesta :

Answer:

applied overhead: 576,000

Explanation:

To know the amount applied to production we first need to solve for the predetermined overhead rate:

[tex]\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate[/tex]

The estimated overhead is 624,000 and will be distribute over 39,000 labor hours
