Stranahan Company allocates overhead based on machine hours. Estimated overhead costs for the year total $217,000 and the company estimates that it will use 31,000 machine hours during the year. Actual overhead for the year was $220,000 and the company used 30,000 machine hours. If Job 45 requires 1,000 machine hours, how much overhead will be allocated to Job 45? a) $7,097
b) $7,333
c) $7,233
d) $7,000

Allocated MOH= $7,000

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 217,000 / 31,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $7 per machine hour

Job 45:

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

Allocated MOH= 7*1,000

Allocated MOH= $7,000

ok this has nothing to do with business

1   all nations face the problem of scarcity because there are limited resources and unlimited wants. nations do not have enough factors of production to produce everything that their population wants. entrepreneurial resources initiate businesses to make new goods and services; labor resources produce goods and services.

2 there are four factors of production: natural resources, labor resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurial resources. natural resources are raw materials from nature that are used to produce goods. trees, water, and grains are natural resources. some natural resources, such as wheat and cattle, are renewable
