    The correct answer is D.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Western Company allocates $10.00 overhead to each unit produced. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate with machine hours as the allocation base.

    Estimated: Department 1 Department 2

    Manufacturing overhead costs $250,000 $150,000

    Machine hours 15,000 MH?

    We will sum the total overhead and divide it by the overhead rate. Doing this we will determine the total number of machine-hours.

    Total machine-hours = 400,000/10 = 40,000 hours

    Department 2 = total machine hours - department 1 machine hours

    D2 = 40,000 - 15,000 = 25,000 machine hours
