Smithson, Inc. decided to implement the activity-based costing approach and was quite successful in its use. However, the controller is wondering if instead of only two activity cost pools, they should expand to three activity cost pools based on the following:
| Family Model | Deluxe Model | |||
| Direct labor costs | $72,600 | $145,200 | ||
| Machine hours | 2,000 | 2,000 | ||
| Setup hours | 200 | 800 | ||
| Packaging hours | 50 | 75 |
The estimated overhead of $435,600 is allocated as follows: machining activity cost pool $232,320, machine set up $164,560 and packaging $38,720. Determine the overhead rates using the activity-based costing approach with three cost pools. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)
| Overhead Rate | ||
| Machining | $ per hour | |
| Machine set up | $ per hour | |
| Packaging | $ per hour |
