Solution

To calculate the total amount of overhead applied to spikes shoes, we first need to determine the activity rates for each cost pool.

  1. Shoe Production: The total cost is 250,000andthetotalactivityis20,000pairsofshoes.So,theactivityrateis250,000 and the total activity is 20,000 pairs of shoes. So, the activity rate is 250,000 / 20,000 = $12.5 per pair of shoes.

  2. Shoe Batches: The total cost is 10,000andthetotalactivityis500batches.So,theactivityrateis10,000 and the total activity is 500 batches. So, the activity rate is 10,000 / 500 = $20 per batch.

  3. Shoe Design: The total cost is 5,000andthetotalactivityis100parts.So,theactivityrateis5,000 and the total activity is 100 parts. So, the activity rate is 5,000 / 100 = $50 per part.

Next, we apply these activity rates to the spikes shoes:

  1. Shoe Production: 2,500 pairs of shoes * 12.5perpair=12.5 per pair = 31,250
  2. Shoe Batches: 100 batches * 20perbatch=20 per batch = 2,000
  3. Shoe Design: 50 parts * 50perpart=50 per part = 2,500

Finally, we add up these amounts to get the total overhead applied to spikes shoes: 31,250+31,250 + 2,000 + 2,500=2,500 = 35,750. So, the total amount of overhead applied to spikes shoes is $35,750.
