    Allocated MOH = $690

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Main Street Ice Cream Company uses a plantwide allocation method to allocate overhead based on direct labor-hours at a rate of $3 per labor-hour.

    The number of hours of labor per 1,000 gallons is 62 for strawberry, 68 for vanilla, and 100 for chocolate.

    We already have an estimated overhead rate. All we have to do is allocate the overhead using the following formula:

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

    Allocated MOH = 3 * (62 + 68 + 100) = 3*230 = $690
