    Option (B) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Number of units produced in total = M + XY

    = 108,000 + 72,000

    = 180,000

    Total Overhead Cost = $72,000 + $50,000 + $355,000

    = $477,000

    The total overhead allocated to Product XY using the current system:

    = (Total Overhead Cost : number of units produced in total) * Number of Units of Product XY

    = ($477,000 : 180,000) * 72,000

    = $190,800
