I cannot find the solution for question b2. I was under the impression that Overhead was equal to Estimated Overhead divided by Direct Labor.

Print by: DANIELLE GREENBERG SP'17 ACC 210 - 003 / Unit02_HW17 *Exercise 17-3 (Part Level Submission) EcoFabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $1,124,550. It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool and cotton) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 535,500 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are cutting (cost driver is machine hours) and design (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool is $428,400 and $696,150 is allocated to the design cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows. Machine hours Number of setups Wool Cotton Total 119,000 1,190 119,000 595 238,000 1,785 *(a1) Your answer is correct. Calculate the overhead rate using activity based costing. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.) Overhead rates for activity-based costing Cutting Design *(a2) $ 1.80 per machine hour $ 390 per setup Attempts: 1 of 5 used Your answer is correct. Determine the amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing. Wool product line Overhead Allocated Cotton product line $ 678300 $ 446250 Attempts: 2 of 5 used *(b1) Your answer is correct. Calculate the overhead rate using traditional approach. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.) Overhead rates using the traditional approach $ 2.1 per direct labor hour 0 Attempts: 1 of 5 used *(b2) What amount of overhead would be allocated to the wool and cotton product lines using the traditional approach, assuming direct labor hours were incurred evenly between the wool and cotton? Wool product line Ov erh ea d All oc ate d Cotton product line $ $ 267750
