    B-$878

    Explanation:

    The total cost of the truck $ 117,000 is allocated to Construction Site D on the basis of number of tons delivered to that Site.

    The truck can deliver 200,000 tons over his expected useful life.

    so the cost per ton is $117,000/200,000 = $0.585 per ton.

    Number of tons delivered to Site D is 1,500 tons.

    so the cost allocated to Site D is 1,500 tons * $0.585 = $878
