1) Determine the activity-cost-driver rate for packaging costs.
2) Using the ABC system, for the sugar cookie, compute the estimated overhead costs per thousand cookies.
3) Using the ABC system, for the sugar cookie, compute the estimated operating profit per thousand cookies.
4) Using a traditional system (with direct labor hours as the overhead allocation base) for the sugar cookie, compute the estimated overhead costs per thousand cookies.
5) Using a traditional system (with direct labor hours as the overhead allocation base) for the sugar cookie, compute the estimated operating profit per thousand cookies.
6) Explain the difference between the profits obtained from the traditional system and the ABC system. Which system provides a better estimate of profitability? Why?
