Answer: $2,680
Calculations:
Overhead cost | / | Level of activity | = | Activity Rate | |||
Design changes | $ 5,000 | / | 100 | Changes per year | = | $ 50 | Per Design change |
Machine setups | $ 18,000 | / | 2,000 | setups per year | = | $ 9 | Per Machine setup |
Electricity usage | $ 36,000 | / | 12,000 | Kilowatt-hours per year | = | $ 3 | Per Electricity usag |
.
Job # 781 | |||||||
Level of activity | x | Activity Rate | = | Total Cost | |||
Design changes | 8 | Changes per year | x | $ 50 | Per Design change | = | $ 400 |
Machine setups | 20 | setups per year | x | $ 9 | Per Machine setup | = | $ 180 |
Electricity usage | 700 | Kilowatt-hours per year | x | $ 3 | Per Electricity usag | = | $ 2,100 |
Total Allocated to Job #781 | $ 2,680 |
