Answer:
(a) $1.8 per machine hour
(b) $390 per setup
Explanation:
Given that,
Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool = $410,400
Overhead allocated to the design cost pool = $666,900
Total machine hours = 228,000
Total number of setups = 1,710
Under activity based costing,
Overhead rate for cutting:
= Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool ÷ Machine Hours
= $410,400 ÷ 228,000
= $1.8 Per Machine Hour
Overhead rate for design:
= Overhead allocated to the design cost pool ÷ Number of Setup s
= $666,900 ÷ 1,710
= $390 per set up
