The company has an activity-based costing system with the following activity cost pools, activity measures, and expected activity: Estimated Expected Activity Activity Cost Pools Activity Measures Overhead Cost Product Z1 Product Z8 Total Labor-related DLHs $ 145,000 4,000 2,000 6,000 Machine setups setups 68,360 1,100 300 1,400 Order size MHs 1,069,190 2,700 3,100 5,800 $ 1,282,550 The activity rate for the Order Size activity cost pool under activity-based costing is closest to:

Answer 1

$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.
