Homework answers / question archive / Brief Exercise 4-12 Spin Cycle Architecture uses three activity pools to apply overhead to its projects
Spin Cycle Architecture uses three activity pools to apply overhead to its projects. Each activity has a cost driver used to allocate the overhead costs to the projects. The activities and related overhead costs are as follows: initial concept formation $47,760; design $286,000; and construction oversight $121,900. The cost drivers and estimated use are as follows.
