    The correct answer is A.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Estimated overhead = $800,000

    Total estimated direct labor hours = 4,000

    Direct labor hours Beta = 1,200

    To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

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

    Estimated manufacturing overhead rate = 800,000/4,000 = $200 per hour

    Now, we can allocate overhead to Beta:

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

    Allocated MOH = 200*1,200 = $240,000
