Explanation / Answer

Correct answe is option D.$3,000

Calculation of total estimated overhead cost ralated to material handling activity.

Let the  total estimated overhead cost ralated to material handling activity be 'x'

12.80=[(x/6000)*3] +[6600/6000*3]+[4000/2000]+6

12.80=[x/6000*3]+3.3+2+6

1.5=x/6000*3

.5=x/6000

x=3000
