b. Calculate the individual ABC pool rates by taking the total amount of overhead for each cost pool and dividing that total by the total amount of activity for that pool. Allocate overhead to each of the two products using these three activity rates.
c. Compare the overhead calculated in part a to that calculated in part b. Why are they different? Which allocation method (traditional or ARC) most likely results in a better estimate of product cost?
