Answer 1

Answer:

$184.34

Explanation:

The computation of activity rate for the Order Size activity cost pool is shown below:-

The Activity rate for Order size = Estimated order size overhead cost ÷ Total machine hours

= 1,069,190 ÷ 5,800

= $184.34

Therefore for computing the activity rate for the Order Size activity cost pool we simply applied the above formula and ignore all other value.
