Answer:

The correct answer is C: $171,000

Explanation:

The Machining Department’s predetermined overhead rate is based on machine-hour.

At the beginning of the current year, the company had made the following estimates:

Machining:  

Machine-hours 19,000

Direct labor-hours 2,000

Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $136,800

Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $1.80

Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $3.20

Total MOH= Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost + Variable manufacturing overhead* machine-hour

Total MOH= 136,800 + (19000*1.8)= $171,000
