Swifty 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 (machine hours) and machine setup (number of setups). The total estimated machine hours is 2.400 , and the total estimated number of setups is 510. Presented below is information related to the company/s operations. Total estimated overhead costs are $294,000. Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $192,000, and $102,000 is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool. Determine the difference in allocation between the two approaches. Altex Inc. manufactures two products: car wheels and truck wheels. To determine the amount of overhead to assign to each product line, the controller, Robert Hermann, has developed the following information. Total estimated overhead costs for the two product lines are 57772200 . (a1) Calculate overhead rate. (Round answer to 2 decimal ploces eg. 1225.) Overheadrate 5 per direct labor hour
