Answer 1

$343.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of amount of manufacturing overhead is shown below:-

For computing the amount of manufacturing overhead first we need to find out the predetermined overhead rate which is shown below:-

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead costs ÷ Estimated machine hours

= $550,000 ÷ 8,000

= $68.75 per machine hour

Overhead allocated = Predetermined overhead rate × Machine hours

= $68.75 × 5

= $343.75
