a. $23,732 b. $21,060 c. $22,356 d. $13,800

Answer 1

Answer: C. $22,356

Cachin Corporation apples manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine hours.

Here the actual machine hours used for production = 1,380

Predetermined overhead rate for the year              = 16.20 per hour

So the manufacturing overheasd applied in the year = number of hours used x rate per hour

                                                                              = 1,380 x 16.20

The applied manufacturing overhead for the year    = $22,356.
