    Option D (117.15) is the correct answer.

    Explanation:

    Part A:

    Total Overhead = 28*300 + 21*500 + 14*600 = 27300

    Total Machine Hours = 4*300 + 2*500 + 3*600 = 4000

    Overhead Rate Per Machine Hour = Total Overhead/Total Machine Hours = 27300/4000 = 6.825

    Product Cost for P = Direct Material + Direct Labor + Overhead Rate Per Machine Hour*Estimated Machine Hours for P = 72 + 31.50 + 6.825*2 = 117.15

    Option D (117.15) is the correct answer.
