Overhead costs $20,000 $40,000

Answer:

Barnes Corporation

The total amount of overhead costs assigned to the deluxe model (using an activity-based costing system) is:

= $35,200.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Overhead Costs Standard Deluxe Total Overhead Rate

Setups $20,000 22 28 50 $400 ($20,000/50)

Components $40,000 8 12 20 $2,000 ($40,000/20)

Direct Labor Hours 375 225 600

Total overhead costs $60,000

Amount of overhead costs assigned to the deluxe model:

Set up costs = $11,200 (28 * $400)

Components costs = $24,000 (12 * $2,000)

Total overheads assigned = $35,200
