Answer:

a.  Labor Cost Rate=   13 $ per DLH

b.  Purchase orders Rate= $ 3 per order

c. Product testing Rate =   $ 15 per test

d. Template etching Rate = $ 23 per template

e. General factory Rate=   $ 6 per MHs

Explanation:

Data

Activity            Activity                Expected Overhead       Expected

Cost Pool      Measure                  Cost                              Activity

Labor-related Direct labor-hours $16,380                 1,260 DLHs

Purchase orders Number of orders $1,920                 640 orders

Product testing Number of tests    $4,275                285 tests

Template etching Number of templates $805          35 templates

General factory Machine-hours          $42,600            7,100 MHs

The activity rate can be obtained by dividing the  total cost of each activity with the total cost of the driver allocated to it.

Calculations

Activity Rate = Expected Overhead Cost/ Expected Activity

a.  Labor Cost Rate=   $16,380   /  1,260 DLHs=  13 $ per DLH

b.  Purchase orders Rate=  $1,920/  640 orders= $ 3 per order

c. Product testing Rate =  $4,275 /285 tests= $ 15 per test

d. Template etching Rate = $805 /35 templates= $ 23 per template

e. General factory Rate=  $42,600/ 7,100 MHs= $ 6 per MHs

Production unit = 1,025

Total manufacturing overhead applied = $5,893.75 (1,025 * $5.75)

Total costs of production of 1,025 pounds of cereal mix:

Total cost of raw materials used = $1,402.25

Total labor cost =                               1,041.00

Manufacturing overhead applied = 5,893.75

Total production costs =                $8,337.00

Unit cost of production = $8.134 ($8,337/1,025) per pound
