The amount of allocated manufacturing overhead costs for August is $47,150

Explanation:

For computing the allocated manufacturing overhead costs, first we have to compute the direct labor hours which is shown below:

= Direct labor cost : per hour rate

= $73,800 : $36

= 2,050 hours

Now the allocated manufacturing overhead costs equals to

= Direct labor hours * Manufacturing overhead rate

= 2,050 hours * $23

= $47,150
