    Allocated to Totes = $ 13,620.94

    Explanation:

    Allocated overhead to totes = OAR * actual direct labour cost

    Overhead Absorption Rate (OAR) = Estimated Overhead/Estimated Direct labour cost

    Estimated Direct labour cost = (54*530) + (64 * 390) = $53580

    OAR = $25,500/$53,580 = 47.59%

    Allocated to Totes = 47.59% * (54*530) = 13,620.94

    Allocated to Totes = $ 13,620.94
