I submit this question yesterday as well but your answer was wrong. Thanks
Helpful Division of X Company makes two products, Small and Large. The company has always used Conventional Costing (for financial reporting purposes), but this period wants to try using Activity-Based Costing to make better decisions. Information related to the current period is as follows: REQUIRED: (#1) Since the company has three activities, what are the three overhead application rates the company would use for activity-based costing? (ROUND EACH RATE TO THE NEAREST CENT and be sure to label the rates appropriately.) (#2) Using activity-based costing, what was the cost to manufacture one Small unit? (#3) Using activity-based costing, what was the cost to manufacture one Large unit? (#4) Based on what you learned about activity-based costing this week, how might Helpful Division managers use the new cost information from its activity-based costing system to better manage its operations?

Chocolate Bars, Inc. (CBI), manufactures creamy deluxe chocolate candy bars. The firm has developed three distinct products: Almond Dream, Krispy Krackle, and Creamy Crunch. CBI is profitable, but management is quite concerned about the profitability of each product and the product costing methods currently employed. In particular, management questions whether the overhead allocation base of direct labor-hours accurately reflects the costs incurred during the production process of each product. In reviewing cost reports with the marketing manager, Steve Hoffman, who is the cost accountant, notices that Creamy Crunch appears exceptionally profitable and that Almond Dream appears to be produced at a loss. This surprises both him and the manager, and after much discussion, they are convinced that the cost accounting system is at fault and that Almond Dream is performing very well at the current market price. Steve decides to hire Jean Sharpe, a management consultant, to study the…
