    Option (D) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Total Overhead Cost:

    = (Overhead * Number of cases) for all products

    = (20 * 350) + (25 * 550) + (17 * 650)

    = 31,800

    Total Machine Hours:

    = Machine hours * Number of cases

    = (5 * 350) + (3 * 550) + (4 * 650)

    = 6,000

    Overhead Rate:

    = Total Overhead Cost : Total Machine Hours

    = 31,800 : 6,000

    = 5.30

    Total product cost per case for Product GC:

    = Direct Material + Direct Labor + Overhead

    = 80 + 30 + (Machine hours * Overhead Rate)

    = 80 + 30 + (3 * 5.3)

    = 80.00 + 30.00 + 15.90

    = $125.90
