gladu [14]

Answer:

Total factory overhead to be charged to each unit of Hooks is $33

Explanation:

Sum of all Activity Cost = Total Factory Overhead

Calculate the total factory overhead to be charged to each unit of Hooks

Activity rate = Budgeted amount / Total of each activity base

∴ Activity Rate

      For Setups = 60,000 / 20,000 = 3 per setup

      For Inspections = 120,000 / 24,000 = 5 per inspections

      For Assembly = 420,000 / 28,000 = 15 per dlh

Activity Cost = Activity base for each unit * Activity rate

∴ Activity Cost

      For Setups = 1 x 3 = $3

      For Inspections = 3 x 5 = $15

      For Assembly = 1 x 15 = $15

Recall that;

Sum of all Activity Cost is the Total Factory Overhead

= $3 + $15 + $15

= $33
