Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of the factory overhead budget for August month is shown below:
Total budgeted direct labor $286,000
(5,500 × 4 hours × $13)
variable factory overhead 70%
Budgeted overhead $200,200 ($286,000 × 70%)
Add: Fixed overhead $179,000
Budgeted total factory overhead $379,200
Hence, the budgeted total factory overhead is $379,200
