Answer:

c.236.32 per unit

Explanation:

Single overhead rate per hour = total overheads/ total labor hours

= 325000/22000 = 14.77 per labor hour

Now, direct labor hours for product A for Painting department = 16 hours

Overhead rate per unit of product A in the painting department = 16 hours × $14.77 per hour

Overhead rate = $236.32 per unit

Thus, Adirondak Marketing Inc. would allocate $236.32 to painting department for 1 unit of Product A.
