Audit | Tax | Total | |
CPU minutes | 40,000 | 10,000 | 50,000 |
Legal hours used | 200 | 800 | 1,000 |
Activity rate for computer support = Computer support cost/CPU minutes
= 333,000/50,000
= $6.66 per CPU minutes
Activity rate for legal support = legal support cost/ Legal hours used
= 166,500/1,000
= $166.5 per legal hour
Calculation of overhead applied to audit services
Activity | Activity rate | Activity used | Overhead applied |
Computer support | $6.66 per CPU minutes | 40,000 | 266,400 |
Legal support | $166.5 per legal hour | 200 | 33,300 |
