Adelberg Corporation makes two products: Product A and Product B. Annual production and sales are 500 units of Product A and 1,000 units of Product B. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.4 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.2 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $68,756.The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory--with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows:
(Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.)
The predetermined overhead rate (i.e., activity rate) for Activity 2 under the activity-based costing system is closest to:
A) $13.91
B) $11.71
C) $74.16
D) $36.19
