Merone Company allocates materials handling cost to the company's two products using the below data: Modular Homes Prefab Barns Total expected units produced 5,000 8,000 Total expected material moves 500 100 Expected direct labor-hours per unit 700 200 The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $218,790. If the materials handling cost is allocated on the basis of material moves, the total materials handling cost allocated to the modular homes is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Modular homes= $182,325

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Modular Homes - Prefab Barns

Total expected material moves 500 100

The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $218,790.

To calculate the allocated costs to each product line, 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= 218,790/600

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $364.65 per move

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Modular homes= 364.65*500= $182,325

Prefab Barnes= 364.65*100= $36,465
