Goold Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools-Machining, Order Filling, and Other. The costs in those activity cost pools appear below: Machining costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Order Filling costs are assigned to products using the number of orders. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data appear below: Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Machining and Order Filling costs to determine product margins.
-The activity rate for Machining under activity-based costing is closest to:
A)$0.11 per MH
B)$0.80 per MH
C)$0.16 per MH
D)$1.43 per MH

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Total MHs = 3,900 MHs + 16,100 MHs = 20,000 MHs
Machining: $3,200 F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 20,000 MHs = $0.16 per MH
