Answer:

$206,550

Explanation:

The computation of the allocation done to the Assembly activity cost pool is shown below:

= Wages & salaries × given percentage + Depreciation × given percentage  + Utilities × given percentage

= $285,000 × 55% + $243,000 × 10% + $170,000 × 15%

= $156,750 + $24,300 + $25,500

= $206,550

We simply applied the above formula so that the allocation amount could arrive.
