Leaper Corporation uses an activity-based costing system with the following three activity cost pools:
Total Activity Activity Cost Pool machine- Fabrication 35,000 hours Order processing 300 orders Other Not applicable The Other activity cost pool is used to accumulate costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs. The company has provided the following data concerning its costs: Wages and salaries Depreciation $420,000 170,000 190,000 Occupancy $780,000 Total The distribution of resource consumption across activity cost pools is given below:
Activity Cost Pools Order Processing Fabrication other Total Wages and salaries Depreciation 30% 25% 45% 100% 20% 50% 30% 100% 40% 35% 100% 25% Occupancy
The activity rate for the Order Processing activity cost pool is closest to:

Answer:

Order processing= $846.67 per order

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Activity costs:

Wages and salaries= 420,000

Depreciation= $170,000

Occupancy= $190,000

Activity Cost Pools:

Order Processing:

Wages and salaries= 0.3

Depreciation= 0.25

Occupancy= 0.45

Order processing 300 orders

First, we need to calculate the total overhead cost for order processing:

Wages and salaries= 0.3*420,000= 126,000

Depreciation= 0.25*170,000= 42,500

Occupancy= 0.45*190,000= 85,500

Total= $254,000

Now, using the following formula, we can determine the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Order processing= 254,000/300= $846.67 per order
