Explanation / Answer

1. Overhead assigned: $147484

Overhead assigned to Fabric case = $254000 x 18000/(18000 + 13000) = $254000 x 18000/31000 = $147484

2. Overhead assigned: $92800

3. Fabric case: Overcosted

The fabric case was over costed by the traditional cost system by $147484 - $92800 = $54684

1. Overhead assigned: $43020

Overhead assigned to Leather case = $143400 x 6000/(14000 + 6000) = $143400 x 6000/20000 = $43020

2. Overhead assigned: $85980

3. Leather case: Undercosted

The leather case was under costed by the traditional cost system by $85980 - $43020 = $42960
