Rustafson Corporation is a diversified manufacturer of consumer goods. The company's activity-based costing system has the following seven activity cost pools
Activity Cost Pool
Estimated
Overhead Cost
Expected Activity
Labor-related $ 52,000 8,000 direct labor-hours
Machine-related $ 15,000 20,000 machine-hours
Machine setups $ 42,000 1,000 setups
Production orders $ 18,000 500 orders
Product testing $ 48,000 2,000 tests
Packaging $ 75,000 5,000 packages
General factory $ 108,800 8,000 direct labor-hours

Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Activity Cost Pool Activity Rate
Labor-related $ per DLH
Machine-related $ per MH
Machine setups $ per setup
Production orders $ per order
Product testing $ per test
Packaging $ per package
General factory $ per DLH

Compute the company's predetermined overhead rate, assuming that the company uses a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Predetermined overhead rate $ per DLH

Answer:

Rustafson Corporation

1. Computation of the activity rate for each activity cost pool:

Activity Cost Pool    Activity Rate

Labor-related            $6.50 per DLH

Machine-related       $0.25 per MH

Machine setups        $42 per setup

Production orders    $36 per order

Product testing         $24 per test

Packaging                 $15 per package

General factory        $13.60 per DLH

2. Computation of the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined overhead rate = Total overhead divided by total direct labor hours

= $358,800/8,000

= $44.85

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated  Overhead Cost      Expected Activity                 Activity Rate

Labor-related $ 52,000         8,000 direct labor-hours    $6.50 (52,000/8,000)

Machine-related $ 15,000     20,000 machine-hours       $0.25 ($15,000/20,000)

Machine setups $ 42,000     1,000 setups                       $42 ($42,000/1,000)

Production orders $ 18,000  500 orders                          $36 ($18,000/500)

Product testing $ 48,000      2,000 tests                         $24 ($48,000/2,000)

Packaging $ 75,000              5,000 packages                 $15 ($75,000/5,000)

General factory $ 108,800    8,000 direct labor-hours  $13.60 ($108,800/8,000)

Total overhead  = $358,800

Total direct labor hours = 8,000 DLH

Predetermined overhead rate = Total overhead divided by total direct labor hours

= $358,800/8,000

= $44.85
