1. Using TRADITIONAL costing, and assuming overhead is applied based on direct labor hours, compute the predetermined overhead rate. (i.e. $25.00)
2. Using Activity Based Costing, how much of the $171,000 in factory overhead would be applied to the nubby tires? (i.e. $25,000)
3. Using Activity Based Costing, how much of the $171,00 in factory overhead would be applied to the smooth tires? (i.e. $25,000)
