Answer:
Allocated MOH= $255,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
XYZ Company applies overhead to jobs using direct labor cost as an activity. For the current year, XYZ's estimated overhead was $250,000; estimated direct labor cost was $500,000 and the actual direct labor cost amounted to $510,000.
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 250,000/500,000= 0.5 per direct labor dollar
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 0.5*510,000= $255,000
