$1,800,000
predetermined overhead rate is $24.00
unit product costs are $122.00 (X-20), & $188.00 (Y-30).
assume that the company's $1,800,000 in manufacturing overhead cost can be assigned to 6 activity cost pools (listed above). would you support a recommendation to expand sales of the Y-30? explain.
can someone please help me get started in the right direction? I thank you in advance for your much needed help.
For some reason everything is grouped together but there's four groups that numbers go under est overhead costs, [total, x-20, & y-30(expected activity)]. |
