Required:

Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

To calculate the estimated overhead rate for each activity cost pool, we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Labor-related= 52,000/8,000= $6.5 per direct labor hour

Machine-related= 15,000/20,000= $0.75 machine-hour

Machine setups= 42,000/1,000= $42 per setup

Production orders= 18,000/500= $36 per order

Product testing= 48,000/2,000= $24 per test

Packaging= 75,000/5,000= $15 per package

General factory= 108,800/8,000= $13.6 per direct labor-hour
