Saddle 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 and machine setup. Presented below is information related to the companys operations.

		Standard		Custom
Direct labor costs		$60,000		$120,000
Machine hours		1,300		1,140
Setup hours		107		420

Total estimated overhead costs are $296,000. Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $198,000, and $98,000 is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool.

Compute the overhead rate using the traditional (plantwide) approach

AND

Compute the overhead rates for maching per machine hour and machine setup per setup hour using the activity-based costing approach

AND

Determine the difference in allocation between the two approaches. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1,225.)
