Weisman, Inc. uses activity-based costing as the basis for information to set prices for its six lines of seasonal coats.
Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Estimated Use of Cost
Drivers per Activity Designing $443,260 14,800 designer hours
Sizing and cutting 3,960,600 164,000 machine hours
Stitching and trimming 1,418,100 81,500 labor hours
Wrapping and packing 330,750 31,500 finished units

Compute the activity-based overhead rates using the following budgeted data for each of the activity cost pools. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e. g. 12.25.)

Activity-based overhead rates
Designing $ per designer hour
Sizing and cutting $ per machine hour
Stitching and trimming $ per labor hour
Wrapping and packing $ per finished unit

Designing $ per designer hour

= 443,260/14,800= $29.95 per hour

Sizing and cutting $ per machine hour

=3,960,600/164,000 = $24.15 per hour

Stitching and trimming $ per labor hour

=1,418,100/ 81,500 =  $17.5 per labor hour

Wrapping and packing $ per finished unit=330,750/ 31,500= $10.5 per finished unit
