Answer:

$432,000 Setting up equipment ⇒ based on setup hours

$1,440,000 Other overhead ⇒ based on oven hours

product                units produced            setup hours          oven hours

Fudge                         8,000                         6,400                    1,600

Cookies                  445,000                         1,600                    8,000

1) Activity rate:

  • a) setup hours = total setup costs / total setup hours = $432,000 / 8,000 hours = $54 per setup hour
  • b) oven hours = total other overhead costs / total oven hours = $1,440,000 / 9,600 hours = $150 per oven hour

2) total overhead assigned to fudge = (6,400 setup hours x $54 per setup hour) + (1,600 oven hours x $150 per oven hour) = $345,600 + $240,000 = $585,600
