If overhead is applied using activity-based costing, the overhead application rate for ordering and receiving is:_________.

Respuesta :

Answer:

$280 per order

Explanation:

The computation of the overhead application rate for ordering and receiving is shown below:

= Estimated overhead cost for ordering and receiving orders ÷  cost driver activity

= $140,000 ÷ 500 orders

= $280 per order

In order to determine the overhead application rate for ordering and receiving we simply divided the estimated overhead cost by the cost driver activity
