Estimated Overhead Costs by Estimated Direct Labor Hours & Department Machine Hours by Department 150,000 h 125,000. 100.000 h. Finishing 75.000 hrs Assembly Total: $8,000,000 Assembly 50,000 hrs Assembly 25,000 hrs Finishing Direct Labor Hours Finishing Machine Hours Estimated Overhead Costs by Cost Driver & Expected Usage Activity by Activity Supervision Supervision Maintenance Total: $8,000,000 & any Maintenance Note: Total overhead costs by department and total overhead costs by activity are equal. The costs are presented in two different ways here. 1. Using activity based costing and data from the lower half of the dashboard, compute activity rates for both maintenance and supervision Activity cost pool Expected Costs Expected Amount of Cost Driver 100,000 MH 125,000 DLH Activity Overhead Rate per MH per DLH Maintenance Supervision 2. The company's XL model requires 2 direct labor hours and 1 machine hour. The RD model requires 3 direct labor hours and 3 machine hours. (a) Compute the overhead cost per unit of each model using ABC. (b) Alternatively, compute the overhead cost per unit of each model using a single plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours. 3.
