Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To allocate factory overhead using ABC, we need to identify the cost driver for each activity. From the given information, we know that total materials handling cost is $112,500 and the cost driver for this activity is the number of material moves.

For LCD TVs, the number of material moves is 1,500 and for projection TVs, it is 3,000. Using the activity rate formula, the materials handling cost allocated to LCD TVs would be:

Activity rate = Total cost / Total activity = $112,500 / (1,500 + 3,000) = $28.125 per material move

Materials handling cost allocated to LCD TVs = Activity rate * Number of material moves for LCD TVs = $28.125 * 1,500 = $42,187.5

Therefore, the answer is B) $28,125.
