Explanation / Answer

Computation of manufacturing overhead cost of part A

Manufacturing overhead cost = Materials Activity + Assembling Activity + Packaging Activity

Manufacturing overhead cost = 700 Moves * $2 + 250 Hours * $8 + 2150 * $1 per unit

Manufacturing overhead cost = 1400 + 2000 + 2150

Manufacturing overhead cost = $5550
