Explanation / Answer

Requirement 1 –

Compute the product margins for the B300 and T500 under the company’s traditional costing system.

Solution –

                Calculation of Plantwide overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost / Estimated total direct labor dollars

                Plantwide overhead rate = $485,512 / $162,100 = $3 per direct labour dollar
