CardioTrainer Equipment Company manufactures stationary bicycles and treadmills. The products are produced in the Fabrication and Assembly
production departments. In addition to production activities, several other activities are required to produce the two products. These activities and their
associated activity rates are as follows:
Activity

Fabrication
$22 per machine hour (mh)
Assembly
$12 per direct labor hour (dlh)
Setup
$40 per setup
Inspecting
$18 per inspection
Production scheduling
$8 per production order
Purchasing
$5 per purchase order
The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for each product were as follows:

Saddle Inc. has two types of handbags: standard and custom. The controller has decided to use a plantwide overhead rate based on
direct labor costs. The president has heard of activity-based costing and wants to see how the results would differ if this system were
used. Two activity cost pools were developed: machining and machine setup. Presented below is information related to the company's
operations.
Direct labor costs
Machine hours
Setup hours
Standard
$50,000

Total estimated overhead costs are $294,600. Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $189,000, and
$105,600 is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool.
