    (a) $267,750

    Explanation:

    The computation of allocation of the manufacturing overhead is computed by applying the formula which is shown below:

    = (Estimated manufacturing overhead : estimated machine hours) * (actual machine hours)

    = ($238,000 : 20,000 machine hours) * $22500 machine hours

    = $267,750

    We calculate the manufacturing overhead allocation based on estimated machine hours not from the actual machine hours
