Answer:

1.

Total direct labor hours = $15,000 + $25,000

Total direct labor hours = $40,000

Total overhead cost = $800,000 + $1,800,000 + $600,000

Total overhead cost = $3,200,000

Overhead applied = 15,000/40,000*3,200,000

Overhead applied = $1,200,000

2.

Superior model batches = 4300/200 = 21.50

Deluxe model batches = 1000/100 = 10

Setup cost allocated to superior model = 126000*21.50/31.50 = 86000

So answer is a) $86000
