Answer:

The total factory overhead budget =$407,440

Explanation:

The total factory overhead budget is the addition of the variable overhead and fixed production overheads

This is done as follows:

Direct labour cost budgeted

= 4hours × 5,300 × $16

=  $339,200

Variable overhead budget

= 70% of Direct labour cost

= 70% ×  $339,200

=  $237,440

Fixed production Overhead = $170,000

The total factory overhead budget

=$237,440  +$170,000

= $407,440

The total factory overhead budget =$407,440
