Activity Overhead Cost Activity Driver Total No. of Activities Activity Rate =
(Activity Overhead cost/No. of Units)
Labor Related $                   34,600.00 Direct Labor Hours 1000 $                                     34.60
Production Orders $                   54,940.00 No. of Orders 400 $                                   137.35
Order Size $                 111,950.00 MHs 6300 $                                     17.77
None
Total $                 201,490.00
Overhead applied to each unit of Product U4
Activity Total No. of Activities for Product U4 (a) Activity Rate (b) Total Cost of Activity (c) = (a) x (b)
Labor Related 200 $                              34.60 $             6,920.00
Production Orders 200 $                           137.35 $          27,470.00
Order Size 2900 $                              17.77 $          51,533.00
Total Overhead costs $          85,923.00
Expected production of U4 200 units
Overhead applied for each unit 85923/200 $                           429.62

Therefore the overhead applied to each unit of Product U4 under activity based costing is closed to $430
