Answer 1

Answer:

$2.85 per labor hours

Explanation:

Note: Full question is attached below as picture

Total Overhead = Wages + Depreciation + Rent

Total Overhead = (360,000*25%) + (120,000*15%) + (180,000*35%)

Total Overhead = $90,000 + $18,000 + $63,000

Total Overhead = $171,000

Activity rate = Total Overhead / Assembly

Activity rate = $171,000 / 60,000

Activity rate = $2.85 per labor hours
