    Instructions are listed below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    There are two cost pools: setup, with an estimated $100,000 in overhead, and inspection, with $25,000 in overhead.

    Poly is estimated to have 750,000 setups and 170,000 inspections.

    Silk has 250,000 setups and 80,000 inspections.

    First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate for each activity pool:

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

    Setup:

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = 100,000/1,000,000 = $0.1 per setup

    Inspections:

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = 25,000/250,000 = $0.1 per inspection

    Now, we can allocate overhead costs:

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

    Poly:

    Allocated MOH = 0.1*750,000 + 0.1*170,000 = $92,000

    Silk:

    Allocated MOH = 0.1*250,000 + 0.1*80,000 = $33,000
