Allocated MOH = $124,800

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Applies manufacturing overhead based on machine-hours.

Estimated manufacturing overhead $132,600 Estimated machine-hours 1,700.

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

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = 132600/1700 = $78 per machine-hour

Actual machine-hours 1,600.

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

Allocated MOH = 78*1600 = 124,800
