Materials handling Allocation = $27.5

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each chair consists of 10 separate parts totaling $165 direct materials and requires 5.0 hours of machine time to produce.

Materials handling = $2.75 per part

Machining = $5.00 per machine hour

Assembling = $1.50 per part

Packaging = $3.75 per finished unit

Material Handling allocation base is: Number of parts.

Allocation = 10 parts * $2.75 = $27.5
