Compute the activity-based overhead rates.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cutting 36 per Labor Hour

Stitching  25 per machine hour

Inspections  17.5 per labor hour

Packing  12.5 per finished good

Explanation:

cost/ cost driver = rate

Cutting Cost 900,000 / 25,000 labor hours = 36 Rate/DLH

Stitching Cost 8,000,000 / 320,000 machine hours = 25 rate/MH

Inspections Cost 2,800,000 / 160,000 labour hours = 17.5 rate/ DLH

Packing Cost 800,000 / 64,000  finished goods = 12.5 rate/FG
