a.cost drivers.

b.overhead cost pools.

c.direct labor costs.

d.nonmanufacturing activities.

 

 

42.              An “Ordering and Receiving Materials” cost pool would most likely have as a cost driver:

43.              Daffodil Company produces two products, Flower and Planter. Flower is a high-volume item totaling 20,000 units annually. Planter is a low-volume item totaling only 6,000 units per year. Flower requires one hour of direct labor for completion, while each unit of Planter requires 2 hours. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 32,000 (20,000 + 12,000). Expected annual manufacturing overhead costs are $800,000. Daffodil uses a traditional costing system and assigns overhead based on direct labor hours. Each unit of Planter would be assigned overhead of

a.$25.00.

b.$30.77.

c.$50.00.

d.need more information to compute.

a.$60,000.

b.$63,000.

c.$75,000.

d.$84,000.
