### Using Excel to Compute Overhead Applied for Activity-Based Costing

#### Problem:
Spud, Inc., a manufacturer of gourmet snacks, employs activity-based costing. The budgeted data for each of the activity cost pools is provided below for the year 2022.

| Activity Cost Pools       | Estimated Overhead | Estimated Use of Cost Drivers Per Activity  |
|---------------------------|--------------------|---------------------------------------------|
| Ordering and receiving    | $84,000            | 12,000 orders                               |
| Food processing           | $480,000           | 60,000 machine hours                        |
| Packaging                 | $1,760,000         | 40,000 labor hours                          |

The following activities occurred during 2022:

- **Number of orders**: 7,000
- **Number of machine hours**: 40,000
- **Number of labor hours**: 25,000

#### Student Work Area
**Required**: Provide input into cells shaded in yellow in this template. Use mathematical formulas with cell references to the Problem area or work area as indicated. Use the `SUM` function with cell references to calculate the total.

**What is the total overhead applied?**

**Activity Cost Pools** | **Overhead Rates** | **Overhead Applied** 
--- | --- | ---
Ordering and receiving | (yellow cell) per (calculated value) | (yellow cell)
Food processing | (yellow cell) per (calculated value) | (yellow cell)
Packaging | (yellow cell) per (calculated value) | (yellow cell)
**Total applied** | | (yellow cell for total value)

### Detailed Instructions for Calculation:
1. **Calculate Overhead Rates** for each activity cost pool:
   - For ordering and receiving: \(\text{Overhead Rate} = \frac{\$84,000}{12,000 \text{ orders}}\)
   - For food processing: \(\text{Overhead Rate} = \frac{\$480,000}{60,000 \text{ machine hours}}\)
   - For packaging: \(\text{Overhead Rate} = \frac{\$1,760,000}{40,000 \text{ labor hours}}\)

2. **Apply the Overhead Rates** to the actual activities that occurred:
   - Ordering and receiving: Multiply the overhead rate by the number of orders.
   - Food processing: Multiply the overhead rate by the
