Answer:

a. $392, 265

Explanation:

Given that:

i. Purchasing department, overhead allocation rate is $77 per purchase order.

ii. Assembly department, overhead allocation rate is $5 per part.

iii. Packaging department, overhead allocation rate is $4 per unit.

iv. Direct material cost is $70 per unit.

v. Each stereo has 50 parts.

Total parts required = 1200 x 50

= 60000

vi. 45 purchase order was required for 1200 stereos.

Thus:

i. $77 x 45 = $3465

ii. $5 x 60000 = $300000

iii. $4 x 1200 = $4800

iv. $70 x 1200 = $84000

Therefore,

total cost for 1200 stereos = $3465 + $300000 + $4800 + $84000

= $392, 265
