b. 70,000
c. 140,000
d. 49,000

The options provided are incorrect. The correct answer is as follows

Area rugs = $91000

The overheads of the cost pool should be divided among the rugs based on the number of inspections carried out under each category divided by the total number of inspections in the cost pool. The division should be such that,

Inspection cost division

Throw rugs = 140000 * 700 / (700+1300)

Area rugs = $91000
