(a)

Your answer is correct. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours (traditional allocation). (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)

17.81

per DLH

Use this predetermined overhead rate to calculate the amount of overhead to apply to Standard and Elite switches, based on their usage of direct labor hours. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)

(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. (Round maintenance costs pool rate to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and other answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
