    C. $16 of overhead cost should be assigned to each standard handbag and $40 of overhead cost should be assigned to each deluxe bag.

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Total indirect manufacturing expected = $52000

    And,

    Total hours required to manufacture handbags is

    = (2,000 standard handbags * 2 hours) + (500 deluxe handbags * 5 hours)

    = 4,000 + 2,500

    = 6,500

    So,

    Indirect cost per hour is

    = $52000 : 6500

    = $8 per hour

    Now

    Cost allocated to standard handbags is

    = $8 * 2

    = $16

    And, for deluxe handbag it is

    = $8 * 5

    = $40
