Amherst Metal Works produces two types of metal lamps. Amherst manufactures 20,000 basic lamps and 5,000 designer lamps. Its activity-based costing system uses two indirect-cost pools. One cost pool is for set up costs and the other for general manufacturing overhead. Amherst allocates setup costs to the two lamps based on setup labor-hours and general manufacturing overhead costs on the basis of direct manufacturing labor-hours. It provides the following budgeted cost information: Calculate the total budgeted costs of the basic and designer lamps using Amherst's activity-based costing system. Begin by calculating the overhead rates for each of the two indirect-cost pools; set up costs and general manufacturing overhead. First select the formula, then enter the applicable amounts and calculate the rate. Begin with the overhead rate for set up costs.
