Tristar Manufacturing produces two types of battery-operated toy soldiers: infantry and special forces. The soldiers are produced by using one continuous process. Four activities have been identified: machining, setups, receiving, and packing. Resource drivers have been used to assign costs to each activity. The overhead activities, their costs, and the other related data are as follows:

Product	Machine Hours	Setups	Receiving Orders	Packing Orders
Infantry	20,000	300	900	1,600
Special forces	20,000	100	100	800
Costs	$80,000	$24,000	$18,000	$30,000

1. Calculate the total overhead assigned to each product by using only machine hours to calculate a plantwide rate. (Round overhead rate answer to two decimal places and other answers to the nearest dollar.)

The overhead rate is $fill in the blank 6acd79fe907cfab_1 per machine hour.

The total overhead assigned to the infantry product is $fill in the blank 6acd79fe907cfab_2.

The total overhead assigned to the Special Forces product is $fill in the blank 6acd79fe907cfab_3.

2. Calculate consumption ratios for each activity. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

	Consumption Ratios

Machining	fill in the blank 6acd79fe907cfab_4	fill in the blank 6acd79fe907cfab_5
Setups	fill in the blank 6acd79fe907cfab_6	fill in the blank 6acd79fe907cfab_7
Receiving	fill in the blank 6acd79fe907cfab_8	fill in the blank 6acd79fe907cfab_9
Packing	fill in the blank 6acd79fe907cfab_10	fill in the blank 6acd79fe907cfab_11

5. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION: Complete the statements below on the difference between the assignment calculated in Requirement 1 and the activity-based assignment.

Using only machine hours (overcosts / undercosts) the infantry product and (overcosts / undercosts) the special forces product. The (activity costs / consumption ratios / costing methods) reveal this before the actual calculations are made.
