Answer:
1. Cutting $1.80 per machine hour
Design $390 per setup
2. Wool product line $627,000
Cotton Product line $412,500
3. Overhead rate $2.10
4. Wool Product line $519,750
Cotton Product line $519,750
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the overhead rate using activity based costing.
Overhead rate using the activity based costing
Cutting = Overhead / Total Machine hours
= $396,000 / 220,000
= $1.80 per machine hour
Design = Overhead / Number of setups
= $643,500 / 1,650
= $390 per setup
2. Calculation to determine the amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing
Overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line
Wool product line = (110,000 * $1.80) + (1,100 * $390)
Wool product line= $198,000 + $429,000
Wool product line= $627,000
Cotton Product line = (110,000 * $1.80) + (550 * $390)
Cotton Product line= $198,000 + $214,500
Cotton Product line= $412,500
3.Calculation to determine the overhead rate using traditional approach.
Overhead rate using traditional approach
Overhead rate = Total Overhead / Direct labor hours
Overhead rate= $1,039,500 / 495,000
Overhead rate= $2.10
4. Calculation to determine What amount of overhead would be allocated to the wool and cotton product lines using the traditional approach
Overhead allocated using the traditional method
Wool Product line = $1,039,500 / 2
Wool Product line= $519,750
Cotton Product line = $1,039,500 / 2
Cotton Product line= $519,750
