Saddle Inc. has two types of handbags: standard and custom. The controller has decided to use a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor costs. The president has heard of activity-based costing and wants to see how the results would differ if this system were used. Two activity cost pools were developed: machining and machine setup.

Saddle Inc. has two types of handbags: standard and custom. The controller has decided to use a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor costs. The president has heard of activity-based costing and wants to see how the results would differ if this system were used. Two activity cost pools were developed: machining and machine setup. Presented below is information related to the company’s operations.

	Standard	Custom
Direct labor costs	$50,000	$100,000
Machine hours	1,500	1,500
Setup hours	90	360

Total estimated overhead costs are $313,500. Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $210,000, and $103,500 is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool.


	Your answer is correct.

Compute the overhead rate using the traditional (plantwide) approach. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.)

Predetermined overhead rate

enter the overhead rate as percentage of direct labor cost rounded to 2 decimal places
