Compute the overhead rate for each activity.

Respuesta :

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the overhead rate for each type of activity is as follows:

Overhead rate is

= Activity activity ÷ Level of activity driver

For machine setup, the Overhead rate is

= $157,500 ÷ 2,100 setup

= $75 per set-up

For machining, the overhead rate is

= $404,800 ÷ 25,300

= $16 per machine hour

For inspection, the overhead rate is

= $93,600 ÷ 1,800

= $52 per inspection
