    The correct answer is $70

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    $40.00 of direct materials

    includes 20 parts

    requires 5 hours of machine time.

    Activity (Allocation Base) - Cost Allocation Rate

    Materials handling (Number of parts) - $0.50 per part

    Machining (Machine hours) - $14.00 per machine hour

    Assembling (Number of parts) - $1.00 per part

    Packaging (Number of finished units) - $2.00 per finished unit

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

    Machining = 14*5hours = $70
