Answer:
Explanation:
1. Setting up equipment rate = (598,000/(10,400+2,600))= 46/setup hour
Other overhead rate = (6,400,000/(35,000+5,000)= 160/oven hour
2. Total overhead assigned to Fudge:
Setting up Equipment = 46*10,400 = $478,400
Other overhead = 160*5000 = $800,000
Total = $1,278,400
3. Units produced = 8000
Unit overhead assigned to Fudge = $1,278,400/8000 = $159.8/unit
4. Plantwide overhead rate = (598,000+6,400,000)/40,000 = $174.95/hour
5. Overhead assigned to Fudget = 174.95*5000 = $874,750
6a. The difference in the total overhead assigned to Fudge is different under the ABC system and non-ABC system because under traditinal method oven hours; under ABC setup hours are used as allocation rate.
6b. Difference = 1,278,400 - 874,750 = $403,650
