Black and Blue Sports Inc. manufactures two products: snowboards and skis. The factory overhead incurred is as follows: Indirect labor $507,000 Cutting Department 156,000 Finishing Department 192,000 Total $855,000 The activity base associated with the two production departments is direct labor hours. The indirect labor can be assigned to two different activities as follows: Activity Budgeted Activity Cost Activity Base Production control $237,000 Number of production runs Materials handling 270,000 Number of moves Total $507,000 The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the two products follow: Number of Production Runs Number of Moves Direct Labor Hours-Cutting Direct Labor Hours-Finishing Units Produced Snowboards 430 5,000 4,000 2,000 6,000 Skis 70 2,500 2,000 4,000 6,000 Total 500 7,500 6,000 6,000 12,000 Required: Determine the factory overhead rates under the multiple production department rate method.

- Comment on the difference in the per-unit overhead allocated to each product under the multiple production department factory overhead rate and activity-based costing methods.
The activity-based overhead allocation reveals that _______ consume more factory overhead on a per-unit basis than do ________. The _______ method does not show this because all factory overhead is assumed to be proportional to direct labor hours. The ______ method separately accounts for the production control and materials handling activity costs. Snowboards have more production control and materials handling activities than do skis. This is because snowboards are made in smaller lots, representing a wide variety of styles. Thus, snowboards
