The amount of fixed manufacturing overhead that Dori would apply to finished production would be the standard hours allowed for the actual units of finished output times the standard fixed manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor-hour. This is because the standard hours allowed is the amount of time that should be taken to manufacture the actual units of output based on the standard cost system, and the fixed manufacturing overhead is applied based on standard direct labor-hours. Therefore, multiplying the standard hours allowed by the standard fixed manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor-hour would give the amount of fixed manufacturing overhead that should be applied to the finished production.
