Swifty 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 $($machine hours$)$ and machine setup $($number of setups$).$ The total estimated

machine hours is $2,400,$ and the total estimated number of setups is $500.$ Presented below is information related to the company's

operations.

Total estimated overhead costs are $$297,000.$ Overhead cost allocated to the maching activity $$192,000,$ and $$1000$

is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool.

Compute the overhead rate using the traditional $($plantwide$)$ approach information related to each product's use of cost drivers.
