    Instructions are listed below

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Overhead:

    Department A : $390,000

    Department B $190,000

    Job 11:

    Direct labor hours in Department B 274

    Machine hours in Department A 2,000

    Job 22:

    Direct labor hours in Department B 1,186

    Machine hours in Department A 2,580

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

    Department A = 390,000 / (2000 + 2580) = $85.15 per direct machine hour

    Department B = 190,000 / (274 + 1186) = $130.14 per direct labor hour.

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

    Job 11:

    Dept A = 85.15*2580 = $219,687

    Dept B = 130.14*274 = $36,658.36
