exist 139,200

Explanation:

Assume that Pell allocates manufacturing overhead based on machine hours, estimated 10,000 machine hours and exist 87,000 that implies that the standard cost per machine hour = exist 87,000 / 10,000 = 8.7 exist

Therefore the manufacturing overhead costs if Pell actually used 16,000 machine hours will be: 16000 x 8.7 = exist 139,200
