Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the activity rates for each cost pool:

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

Activity 1= 103,850 / (2,500 + 5,250)= $13.4 per unit of activity

Activity 2= 106,000 / (4,500 + 5,500)= $10.6 per unit of activity

Activity 3= 95,120 / (3,000 + 2,800)= $16.4 per unit of activity

Now, we can allocate overhead to Standard:

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

Standard:

Activity 1= 13.4*2,500= $33,500

Activity 2= 10.6*4,500= $47,700

Activity 3= 16.4*3,000= $49,200

Total allocated costs= $130,400

Finally, the unitary cost:

Unitary cost= 130,400 / 37,775

Unitary cost= $3.45
