Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of overhead rate for each activity is shown below:-
Overhead rate for each activity       Overhead Rate
Materials handling                    37
                               ($38,850 ÷ 1,050)
Machine setups                      54
                               ($26,190 ÷ 485)
Quality inspections                    48
                                (23,520 ÷ 490)
2. The computation of assignment of manufacturing overhead costs for April to the two products using activity-based costing is shown below:-
Assignment of       Instruments             Gauges
manufacturing
overhead costs
Materials handling  $37 × 420  $15,540  $37 × 63 $23,310
Machine setups    $54 × 225   $12,150  $54 × 260 $14,040
Quality inspections $48 × 265  $12,720  $48 × 225  $10,800
Total cost assigned           $40,410            $48,150
Overhead cost
per Unit      $40,410 ÷ 49  $824.69 $48,150 ÷ 297 $162.12
Therefore we have applied the above formula.
