| Actual direct labor cost of $34,727 for a total of 2,870 hours |
| Actual variable MOH $20,377 |
| Actual fixed MOH $26,200 |
All manufacturing overhead is allocated on the basis of direct labor hours.

- b. The direct labor variances.
- c. The variable manufacturing overhead variances.
- d. The fixed manufacturing overhead variances.

- In Class Assignment 1 AlSaleh has assigned overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (Tables and Chairs) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 200,000 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 Ordering and receiving (cost driver is Purchase orders) and machine setup (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the ordering and receiving cost pool is $200,000, and $800,000 is allocated to the machine setup cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows: Cost Drivers Tables Chairs Purchase orders 30,000 10,000 number of setups 10,000 30,000 a. Determine the amount of overhead assigned to the table product line and the chairs product line using activity-based costing. b. What amount of overhead would be assigned to the tables and chairs product lines using the traditional approach,…arrow_forwardComputing and using activity-based costing overhead allocation rates Koehler (see Exercise E19-15 and Exercise E19-16) makes handheld calculators in two models—basic and professional—and wants to further refine its costing system by allocating overhead using activity-based costing.

The following data have been compiled: Requirement 1 Koehler expects to produce 200,000 basic models and 200,000 professional models. Compute the predetermined overhead allocation rates using activity-based costing. How much overhead is allocated to the basic model? To the professional model? Requirement 2 Compare your answers for Exercise E19-15, Exercise E19-16, and Exercise E19-17. What conclusions can you draw?
