    The correct answer is B.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Setup costs $200,000 Number of setups 250

    Ordering costs 80,000 Number of orders 1,600

    Maintenance 400,000 Machine hours 2,000

    Power 40,000 Kilowatt-hours 40,000

    Job 6A

    Units completed 100

    Direct labor hours 50

    Number of setups 1

    Number of orders 4

    Machine hours 20

    Kilowatt-hours 30

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = total estimated overhead costs for the period / total amount of allocation base

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate:

    Setup = ($200,000/250) = 800 per set up

    Ordering costs = (80,000/1,600) = 50 per order

    Maintenance = (400,000/2,000) = 200 per machine hour

    Power = (40,000/40,000) = $1 per kilowatt hour

    Allocated MOH = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate * Actual amount of allocation base

    Job 6A:

    Set up = 800

    Ordering = 50*4 = 200

    Maintenance = 200*20 = 4000

    Power = 30

    Total = $5030
