Question

Adelberg Company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 1,950 units and of Product B is 1,350 units. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.5 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.8 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $101,600.

The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and Order Size--with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows:

	Estimated		Expected Activity
Activity Cost Pools	Overhead Costs		Product A	Product B	Total
Activity 1	$	31,394	1,250	850	2,100
Activity 2		17,882	1,950	450	2,400
Order Size		52,324	975	1,080	2,055
Total	$	101,600

(Note: The Order Size activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.)

The predetermined overhead rate under the traditional costing system is closest to:
