Wellington produces two products, Fudge and Cookies. Information on each product is as follows: Fudge Cookies Units produced 8,000 Setup hours 13,600 445,000 3,400 40,600 Oven hours 5,800 Required: Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar, unless otherwise directed. 1. Calculate the activity rate for (a) setting up equipment and (b) other overhead. a. Setting up equipment 58 per setup hour b. Other overhead 5 135 per oven hour 2. How much total overhead is assigned to Fudge using ABC? S 783,000 X 3. What is the unit overhead assigned to Fudge using ABC? Round to the nearest cent. $ 196.48 per unit 4.
