Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Activity Cost Pools Overhead Activity Driver Number Overhead
Cost Usage Rates
Printing $91,000 Batches processed 400 $227.50
Binding $49,000 Direct labor hours 150 $326.67
Total $140,000
Overhead rates:
Printing = $227.50 ($91,000/400)
Binding = $326.67 ($49,000/150)
Hard Cover Soft Cover Total
Units produced 5,200 12,000 17,200
Batches 100 300 400
Direct labor hours 0.75 0.25
Total direct labor hours 75 (0.75*100) 75 (0.25*300) 150
Overhead allocated to Soft Cover:
Printing = ($227.50 * 300) $68,250
Binding = ($326.67 * 75) 24,500
Total overhead = $92,750
Overhead allocated to Harc Cover:
Printing = ($227.50 * 100) $22,750
Binding = ($326.67 * 75) 24,500
