    The correct answer is A.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Fusaro Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate base on machine-hours.

    Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead = $684,000

    Estimated activity level = 40,000 machine-hours

    Actual activity level 37,700 machine-hours

    First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = total estimated overhead costs for the period / total amount of allocation base

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = 684,000/40,000 = $17.1 per machine hour

    Now, we can allocate the manufacturing overhead:

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

    Allocated MOH = 17.1 * 37,700 = $644,670
