The point: the plantwide rate, using DLH, assigns overhead in a ratio of 75% to A an
Using the four cost pools, you can see that none of them are very close to that ratio
quite a bit of consumption diversity (ranging from .67 to .3 for Model A and ranging
for Model B). I put the percentage of total MOH for each pool to show that the majo
(over 60%) are consumed by model A in greater proportion to B, but that a little ov
disproportionately by Model B.
Even so, assigning 75% of all overhead costs to Model A significantly overcosts A an
It would be even more overcosted if a larger percentage of the overhead costs were

proportion by model B.
