Allocated MOH = $523,200

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated:

estimated direct labor-hours = 21,920 hours

total estimated manufacturing overhead = $526,080

The actual direct labor-hours for the year were 21,800 hours.

To allocate the overhead, first, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

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

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate=526,080/21,920 = $24 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate the overhead:

Allocated MOH = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate * Actual amount of allocation base = 24*21,800 = $523,200
