Explanation:

Giving the following information:

K company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be 3,266,000 for the indirect labor and 920000 for factory utilities. Direct labor hours= 920,000

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

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (3,266,000 + 920,000)/920,000= $4.55 per direct labor hour.

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

Allocated MOH= 4.55*4= $18.2
