Compute the total overhead that should be assigned to order no. 610 by usingactivity-based costing.B. Suppose that Mitchell were to use a single, predetermined overhead rate based onmachine hours. Compute the rate per hour and the total overhead assigned to order no.610.C. Discuss the merits of an activity-based costing system in comparison with a traditionalcosting system.
