Answer:
The $12,000 is the material handling cost should be assigned to products made in March.
Thus, the correct option is a. $12,000
Explanation:
For computing how much of the material handling cost should be assigned, first we have to calculate the per pound of material. The formula is shown below:
Per pound of material = Labor cost ÷ Number of pounds
                  = $160,000 ÷ 800,000
                  = $0.2 per pound of material
Now, multiply this per pound of material with moving pounds.
In mathematically,
Material Handling cost = Per unit of pound × Moving material
                   = $0.2 × 60,000
                   =$12,000
Hence, the $12,000 is the material handling cost should be assigned to products made in March.
Thus, the correct option is a. $12,000
