    The correct answer is B.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Units = 770,000

    Standard machine hours = 0.85 per unit

    Estimated: Department 1 Department 2

    Manufacturing overhead costs $3,141,500 $1,571,000

    Machine hours 267,000 MH 192,000 MH

    First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

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

    Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = (3,141,500 + 1,571,000) / (267,000 + 192,000)

    Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = 4,712,500 / 459,000

    Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = $10.27 per machine hour

    Now, we can calculate the allocated overhead per unit:

    Allocated overhead per unit = 10.27*0.85 = $8.73
