Sizing and cutting 4,231,150 157,000 machine hours
Stitching and trimming 1,501,000 79,000 labor hours

Required:
Compute the activity-based overhead rates using the following budgeted data for each of the activity cost pools.

Answer 1

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the activities rates, we need to use the following formula:

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

Designing= 452,795 / 11,900= $38.05 per designer hour

Sizing and cutting= 4,231,150 / 157,000= $36.95 per machine hour

Stitching and trimming= 1,501,000 / 79,000= $19 per labor hour

Wrapping and packing= 327,050 / 31,000= $10.55 per finished unit
