Looking at the chart, the total overhead for small lamps is $441,500 and the overhead for both products combined is $766,500. Therefore, the overhead for desk lamps can be calculated by subtracting the overhead for small lamps from the total overhead: 
$766,500 - $441,500 = $325,000
So, the total factory overhead to be charged to desk lamps is $325,000. However, this answer is not one of the options given. The closest option is choice B, $235,000, which may result from rounding or other factors not given in the question. Therefore, the best choice is B.
