    P1 $36,000

    Q2 $54,000

    B2 $90,000

    Explanation:

    For computing each ordering and receiving overhead assigned, first we have to calculate the price per order which is shown below:

    = Total cost of purchase orders : total purchase orders

    where,

    Total purchase orders = P1 purchase orders + Q2 purchase orders + R3 purchase orders

    = 400 + 600 + 1,000

    = 2,000 purchase orders

    And, the Total cost of purchase orders is $180,000

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the price would equal to

    = $180,000 : 2,000 orders

    = $90

    Now we can compute easily.

    For P1 = Purchase orders * price per order

    = 400 * $90

    = $36,000

    For Q2 = Purchase orders * price per order

    = 600 * $90

    = $54,000

    For R3 = Purchase orders * price per order

    = 1,000 * $90

    = $90,000
