Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Total estimated overhead costs = $350,000
machining = $200,000
Inspections = $100,000
Packing = $50,000
Product X direct labor hours = 1,700
Product Y direct labor hours = 1,800
Traditional costing based on direct labor hours is used,
Predetermined overhead rate:
= Total estimated overhead costs ÷ Estimated amount of the allocation base
= $350,000 ÷ (1,700 + 1,800)
= $350,000 ÷ 3500
= $100/Direct labor hour
Overhead assigned to Product-X:
= Predetermined overhead rate × No. of Direct labor hour of Product-X
= $100 × 1,700
= $170,000
Therefore, the overhead is assigned to Product X this year is $170,000.
