Question: Spin Cycle Architecture uses three activity pools to apply overhead to its projects. Each activity has a cost driver used to allocate the overhead costs
Spin Cycle Architecture uses three activity pools to apply overhead to its projects. Each activity has a cost driver used to allocate the overhead costs to the projects. The activities and related overhead costs are as follows: initial concept formation $40,200; design $307,000; and construction oversight $123,200. The cost drivers and expected use are as follows.
| Activities | Cost Drivers | Expected Use of Cost Drivers per Activity | ||
| Initial concept formation | Number of project changes | 15 | ||
| Design | Square feet | 138,000 | ||
| Construction oversight | Number of months | 105 |
(a) Compute the predetermined overhead rate for each activity. (Round overhead rate per square foot to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25 and all other answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1,225.)
| Overhead Rate | |||
| Initial concept formation | $
| per project change | |
| Design | $
| per square foot | |
| Construction oversight | $
| Per month | |
(b) Classify each of these activities as unit-level, batch-level, product-level, or facility-level.
| Activities | Level | |
