1) | ||||
Activity cost pool | estimated overhead (A) | activity (B) | rate (A)/(B) | |
machine setup | 28710 | 261 | 110 | Per setup |
special processing | 147000 | 4200 | 35 | pe MH |
2) | HUBS | ||
Activity cost pool | rate (A) | activity (B) | Total (A)*(B) |
machine setup | 110 | 145 | 15950 |
special processing | 35 | 4200 | 147000 |
Total overhead | 162950 |
Overhead cost p.u = 162950/11000 = 14.81 |
Sprockets | |||
Activity cost pool | rate (A) | activity (B) | Total (A)*(B) |
machine setup | 110 | 116 | 12760 |
special processing | 35 | 0 | 0 |
Total overhead | 12760 |
Overhead cost p.u = 12760/56000 = 0.23 |
