Identify the appropriate cost driver for each activity center and compute a rate for each center. 2. Allocate the overhead costs to the two products using the rates from Part (1), 3. Assume the total costs of all activity centers are allocated on the basis of machine hours. Calculate the overall rate and allocate overhead costs to the two products using that rate. 4. Explain why the costs allocated to the two products differ between Parts (2) and (3).
