She has identified several costs that must be allocated to these tasks including: $50,000 of depreciation on manufacturing equipment, $40,000 of utilities, $30,000 of rent and $2,000 of supplies. She has chosen to distribute all these costs to the four tasks based on machine hours.

    2400

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Cost allocated to Depreciation on manufacturing equipment = $50,000

    Cost allocated to Utilities = $40,000

    Cost allocated to Rent = $30,000

    Cost allocated to supplies = $2,000

    Required machine hours for cutting = 900

    Required machine hours for drilling = 300

    Required machine hours for sanding = 800

    Required machine hours for painting = 400

    Now,

    Since the distribution is based on the machine hours

    Therefore,

    Weight of base = Total machine hours required

    = 900 + 300 + 800 + 400

    = 2400
