    Total allocated overhead = $2,081,094

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    For 2017, the company had 11,300 orders and used 51,200 machine hours, and labor hours totaled 491,000

    Overhead rates for each activity:

    Ordering and receiving = $7.22 per order

    Food processing = $7.79 per machine hour

    Packaging = $3.26 per labor hour

    To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:

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

    Ordering and receiving = 7.22*11,300 = $81,586

    Food processing = 7.79*51,200 = $398,848

    Packaging = 3.26*491,000 = $1,600,660

    Total overhead = $2,081,094
