Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to allocate overhead:

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

Strawberry= 3*56= 168

Vanilla= 3*66= 198

Chocolate= 3*100= 300

Now, the total cost for each product line:

Strawberry:

Total cost= 168 + 755 + 805= $1,728

Vanilla:

Total cost= 198 + 830 + 505= $1,533

Chocolate:

Total cost= 300 + 1,130 + 605= $2,035
