    The correct answer is B: $195,750

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Manufacturing overhead for the year would be $175,000 and 13,000 direct labor hours would be worked.

    Actual results for the year included the following:

    Actual MOH cost $184,000

    Actual DL hours 14,500

    First, we need to calculate the manufacturing overhead rate:

    manufacturing overhead rate = total estimated manufacturing overhead for the period / total amount of allocation base

    manufacturing overhead rate = 175000/13000 = 13.5

    Now, we can calculate the amount of manufactured overhead allocated:

    Manufactured overhead allocated = overhead rate * actual direct labor hours

    Manufactured overhead allocated = 13.5*14500 = $195,750
