    c) $2,760,000

    Explanation:

    Computation of the amount of overhead assigned to Slime.

    First step

    Ordering and Receiving=Cost/Expected use of Driver*Additional Expected use of Driver

    $1,200,000/2,000*1,600

    =600*1,600

    =$960,000

    Mixing = Cost/Expected use of Driver*Additional Expected use of Driver

    =1,500,000/50,000*30,000

    =30*30,000

    =$900,000

    Testing=Cost/Expected use of Driver*Additional Expected use of Driver

    = 1,350,000/1,500*1,000

    =900*1,000

    =$900,000

    Second step

    Addition of the total of:

    Ordering and Receiving $960,000

    Mixing $900,000

    Testing $900,000

    =$2,760,000

    Therefore the amount of overhead assigned to Slime will be $2,760,000
