Required:
In all computations involving dollars in the following requirements, round off your answer to the
nearest whole cent.
a. The company currently uses a traditional costing method in which overhead is applied to
products based solely on direct labor-hours. Compute the company's predetermined overhead
rate under this costing method.
b. How much overhead would be applied to each product under the company's traditional costing
method?
c. Determine the unit product cost of each product under the company's traditional costing
method.
d. Compute the activity rates under the activity-based costing system.
e. Determine how much overhead would be assigned to each product under the activity-based
costing system.
f. Determine the unit product cost of each product under the activity-based costing method.
g. What is the difference between the overhead per unit under the traditional costing method
and the activity-based costing system for each of the two products?

207. Cabat Company manufactures two products, Product C and Product D. The company
estimated it would incur $177,910 in manufacturing overhead costs during the current period.
Overhead currently is applied to the products on the basis of direct labor-hours. Data concerning
the current period's operations appear below:
Product C Product D
Estimated volume 3,800 units 3,000 units
Direct labor-hours per unit 1.20 hours 0.80 hour
Direct materials cost per unit $11.60 $23.70
Direct labor cost per unit $10.80 $7.20
Required:
a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate under the current method, and determine the unit
product cost of each product for the current year.
b. The company is considering using an activity-based costing system to compute unit product
costs for external financial reports instead of its traditional system based on direct labor-hours.
The activity-based costing system would use three activity cost pools. Data relating to these
activities for the current period are given below:
