Answer:

$8,100

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,  first we have to determine the total cost and per unit cost for allocation made to Loin chops which are shown below:

Total cost = cost of loin + cost of chops + cost of ground + cost of bacon

= ($2,700 × 5) + ($9,000 × 2) + ($3,750 × 4.6) + ($7,500 × 3.5)

= $75,000

Therefore, per unit cost is

= Total joint Cost ÷ total cost

= $45,000 ÷ $75,000

= $0.6

Hence allocation to loin chops is

= ($2,700 × 5) × $0.6

= $8,100
