Acme Company manufactures and sells two products, Product A and Product B. Acme's total manufacturing overhead cost is $168,000, and Acme applies overhead to jobs using three activity-based overhead rates, computed as follows: Activity Setups Machining Packaging Allocation base Number of setups Machine hours .$15,000 Units packed O $33.60 O $31.20 O $36.60 O $37.20 Cost pool ? ? Units of allocation base Product A Product B 20 setups ? 350 units 20 setups 1,000 hours 150 units Allocation rate $450 per setup $27 per MH ? If Acme decides to use a plantwide overhead rate with machine hours as the allocation base, what would be its plantwide overhead rate?
