    Planter = $46.25 unit

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The expected annual manufacturing overhead costs are $740000. The total annual direct labor hours are 32000. Flower requires 1 hour of direct labor for completion, while each unit of Planter requires 2 hours.

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = total estimated overhead costs for the period / total amount of allocation base = 740000/32000 = $23.125 per hour

    Now we can allocate MOH Flower and Planter:

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

    Planter = 23.125 * 12000 = $277,500/6000 units = $46.25
