Exercise 17-1 (Part Level Submission)

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.

Standard

Custom

Direct labor costs $52,000 $120,000 Machine hours 1,170 1,100 Setup hours 99 420
Total estimated overhead costs are $301,000. Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $197,000, and $104,000 is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool.

Explanation / Answer

Total Labour cost = 52000+120000 = $172000

Manufacturing overhead = $301000

Predetermine overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead/Estimated labour cost

= 301000/172000

Predetermine overhead rate = 175% of labour cost
