Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:

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

S96U:

Setting up batches= 87.25*34= $2,966.5

Assembling products= 6.38*105= $669.9

Processing customer orders= 53.91*17= $916.47

Total allocated costs= $4,552.87

QO6F:

Setting up batches= 87.25*45= $3,926.25

Assembling products= 6.38*820= $5,231.6

Processing customer orders= 53.91*29= $1,563.39

Total allocated costs= $10,721.24
