Level Unit Total Cost Units of Cost Driver $500,000 20,000 machine hours Batch 200,000 1,000 customer orders Product 200,000 50 products Product X1 required 2,000 machine hours to fill 10 customer orders for a total of 8,000 units. (a) Assuming all manufacturing overhead is estimated and predicted on the basis of machine hours, determine the predicted total overhead costs to produce the 8,000 units of product X1. $Answer 20250 (b) Assuming manufacturing overhead is estimated and predicted using separate rates for machine hours, customer orders, and products (a multiplelevel cost hierarchy), determine the predicted total overhead costs to produce the 8,000 units of product X1. $Answer 22250 (c) Calculate the error in predicting manufacturing overhead using machine hours versus using multiple cost drivers. Indicate whether the use of only machine hours results in overpredicting or underpredicting the costs to produce 8,000 units of product X1. $Answer 2000 Answer Over-prediction (d) Determine the error in the prediction of X1 batchlevel costs resulting from the use of only machine hours. Indicate whether the use of only machine hours results in overpredicting or underpredicting the batchlevel costs of product X1. $Answer Answer 30000 Over-prediction (e) Determine the error in the prediction of X1 productlevel costs resulting from the use of only machine hours. Indicate whether the use of only machine hours results in overpredicting or underpredicting the productlevel costs of product X1. $Answer Answer 5000 Check Feedback You have correctly selected 3.
