Xie Company

Activity, Expected cost

Handling materials $ 625,000

Inspecting product $900,000

Processing purchase orders $105,000

Paying supplier $175,000

Insuring the factory $300,000

Designing packaging $75,000

TOTAL $2,180,000

1) overhead rate per direct labour hour = total overhead cost / total direct labour hours

= 2,180,000 / 125,000

= 17.44 per hour

2.

Model, Direct labour hr, Overhead rate

Deluxe $2,500 ×17.44= $43,600.00 Cost allocated.

Basic $6,000×17.44=$104,640.00Cost allocated.
