    Product L = $34

    Product H = $34

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Product H is expected to sell 40,000 units next year and Product L is expected to sell 8,000 units.

    A unit of either product requires 0.4 direct labor-hours.

    Estimated overhead = $1,632,000. R

    First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate:

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = total estimated overhead costs for the period / total amount of allocation base

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = 1,632,000 / (48,000*0.4)

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = $85 per direct labor hour

    Now, we can allocate overhead:

    Allocated MOH = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate * Actual amount of allocation base

    Product L = 85*0.4 = $34

    Product H = 85*0.4 = $34
