EcoFabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $1,039,500. It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool and cotton) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 495,000 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are cutting (cost driver is machine hours) and design (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool is $396,000 and $643,500 is allocated to the design cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows. Wool Cotton Total
Machine hours 110,000 110,000 220,000
Number of setups 1,100 550 1,650
1. Calculate the overhead rate using activity based costing.
2. Determine the amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing.
3. Calculate the overhead rate using traditional approach.
4. What amount of overhead would be allocated to the wool and cotton product lines using the traditional approach, assuming direct labor hours were incurred evenly between the wool and cotton?
