    Product 1 Costing Summary

    Finishing Activity ($149 * 322) 47,978

    Assembling Activity ($113 * 522) 67,426

    Total 117,404

    Therefore Total Manufacturing overheads are 117,404

    Explanation:

    The traditional cost accounting apportions the overhead cost to the products according to specific units of the department's cost driver used by the product.

    Finishing Activity

    Absorption Rate=Total Manufacturing Costs/Total Cost Driver Activity

    = $ 83,850 / (322+240)

    = $149 / product

    Assembling Activity

    Absorption Rate=Total Manufacturing Costs/Total Cost Driver Activity

    = $ 73,925 / (522+135)

    = $113 / labor hour
