The document provides cost pool information and overhead rates for a company that produces Remote Mouse units. It calculates overhead rates for various cost pools and the total overhead cost per unit. It then compares the traditional volume-based overhead allocation method to an activity-based costing approach, finding that traditional costing can overallocate overhead.

Required : 1. Calculate the overhead rate per unit of activity for each of the five cost pools - Materials ordering $800,000 / 20,000 - Materials inspection $400,000 / 20,000 - Equipment setup $2,000,000 / 20,000 - Quality control $900,000 / 20,000 - Other $15,000,000 / 20,000 2. Calculate the total overhead assigned to the production of the Remote Mouse - Materials ordering $8 x 1,000 - Materials inspection $200 x 300 - Equipment setup $20,000 x 1 - Quality control $225 x 400 - Other $1,5 x 120,000 Total overhead cost 3. Calculate the overhead cost per unit for the Remote Mouse overhead cost / unit = total overhead cost / production = $358,000 / 20,000 $ 17.90 4.
