1) The predetermined overhead rate under the traditional costing system is closest to:
Adams Corporation makes two products: Product A and Product B. Annual production
and sales are 500 units of Product A and 900 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 0.5 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is
$67,522.
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:

labor-hours.)
