Respuesta :

Answer:

(C) Product X = $880; Product Y = $2,240

Explanation:

The applied overhead will be calculate by the product of the cost diver and the overhead rate:

Cost driver for each product:

Product X   3MH and  1LH

Product Y   4MH and 8LH

Overhead rate:

240 per machine hour

and 160 per labor hour

Product X   3MH x $240 +  1LH x $160   = 880

Product Y   4MH x $240 +  8LH x $160  = 2,240
