Wilkins Inc. has two types of handbags: standard and custom. The controller has decided to use a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor costs. The president has heard of activity-based costing and wants to see how the results would differ if this system were used. Two activity cost pools were developed: machining and machine setup. Presented below is information related to the company's operations.
Standard Custom
Direct labor costs $53,000 $108,000
Machine hours 1,190 1,500
Setup hours 110 440
Total estimated overhead costs are $308,800.
Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $196,400, and $112,400 is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool. Collapse question part
