Answer: Option (D) is correct

Explanation:

Manufacturing overhead allocated to work in process = Total cost of Work in Process - Direct material cost - Direct labor cost

= $9,873 - $3,300 - $2,100

= $4,473

Therefore,

Overhead application rate = (Manufacturing overhead allocated to work in process / Direct labor cost) * 100%

= ($4,473 / $2,100) * 100

= 213%
