Marine, Inc., manufactures a product that is available in both a flexible and a rigid model. The company has made the rigid model for years; the flexible model was introduced several years ago to tap a new segment of the market. Since introduction of the flexible model, the companys profits have steadily declined, and management has become concerned about the accuracy of its costing system. Sales of the flexible model have been increasing rapidly.

Sales of the flexible model have been increasing rapidly Overhead is applied to products on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the current year, management estimated that $630,000 in overhead costs would be incurred and the company would produce and sell 2,500 units of the flexible model and 10,000 units of the regular model. The flexible model requires 2.4 hours of direct labor time per unit, and the regular model requires 1.20 hours. Direct materials and labor costs per unit are given below: Flexible Rigid Direct materials cost per unit Direct labor cost per unit $130 35 s 85 20 Required: . An intern suggested that the company use activity-based costing to cost its products. A team was formed to investigate this idea. It came back with the recommendation that four activity cost pools be used. These cost pools and their associated activities are listed as follows: Expected Activit Estimated Activity Cost Pool and Activity Measure Purchase orders (number of orders) Rework requests (number of requests) Product testing (number of tests) Machine related (machine-hours) Total 470 270 1,100 1,800 4,130 Overhead Cost Flexible Rigid 360 190 23,500 13,500 180,000 413,000 $630,000 110 80 700 1,200 2,930 Compute the activity rate for each of the activity cost pools. 2. Using activity-based costing, determine the total amount of overhead that would be assigned to each model for the year
