The Work in Process inventory account of a manufacturing Corporation shows a balance of $4,137 at the end of an accounting period. The job cost sheets of the two uncompleted jobs show charges of $700 and $280 for materials, and charges of $560 and $980 for direct labor. From this information, it appears that the Corporation is using a predetermined overhead rate, as a percentage of direct labor costs, of:

95%

220%

105%

280%

The Lee Corporation uses a job-order costing system. The following data were recorded for June:

Overhead is charged to production at 80% of direct materials cost. Jobs 235, 237, and 238 were completed during June and transferred to finished goods. Jobs 235 and 238 have been delivered to customers. Actual manufacturing overhead was equal to manufacturing overhead applied. There were no Work in Process or Finished Goods inventories at the beginning of June.

Lee's Work in Process inventory balance on June 30 was:

$4,635

$5,579

$4,635

Studler Corporation has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools-Processing, Supervising, and Other. In the first stage allocations, costs in the two overhead accounts, equipment expense and indirect labor, are allocated to the three activity cost pools based on resource consumption. Data used in the first stage allocations follow:

Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using the number of batches. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data for the company's two products follow:

The activity rate for the Supervising activity cost pool under activity-based costing is closest to:  

$2.00 per batch

$32.65 per batch

$7.28 per batch

$2.13 per batch
