Activity Rates

    Patten Company uses activity-based costing (ABC). Patten manufactures toy cars using two activities: plastic injection molding and decal application. Patten's 20X1 total budgeted overhead costs for these two activities are $492,000 (90% for injection molding and 10% for decal application). Molding overhead costs are driven by the number of pounds of plastic that are molded together. Decal application overhead costs are driven by the number of decals applied to toys. The budgeted activity data for 20X1 are as follows: Line Item DescriptionNumerical DataPounds of plastic molded1,940,000Number of decals applied197,000 Required: 1. Calculate the activity rate for the plastic injection molding activity. Round your answer to the nearest cent. fill in the blank 1 of 1$ per pound molded 2. Calculate the activity rate for the decal application activity. Round your answer to the nearest cent. fill in the blank 1 of 1$ per decal applied     Comparing ABC and Plantwide Overhead Cost Assignments Castle Dale Company uses activity-based costing (ABC). The controller identified two activities and their budgeted costs: Line Item DescriptionAmountSetting up equipment$660,000Other overheard$2,376,000 Setting up equipment is based on setup hours, and other overhead is based on oven hours. Castle Dale produces two products, Fudge and Cookies.
