The partners of Devine and O'Clock, CPAs, decide to implement an activity-based costing system for their firm. They identify the following three cost pools and budgeted amounts for each for the coming year: fringe benefits, $300,000; secretarial support, $175,000; and audit support, $450,000. It is determined that the best cost driver for fringe benefits is professional labor dollars ($1,000,000); secretarial support is partner labor hours (3,500); and audit support is professional labor hours (15,000).
Compute the budgeted overhead rates for each of the three cost pools.
