Cost driverActual level
Direct labor-hours200
Machine-hours1,600
Square feet of area50

Which method of allocation probably best estimates actual overhead costs used? Why?
◦ Single direct labor-hours cost driver because it is best to allocate total costs uniformly to individual jobs.
◦ Single direct labor-hours cost driver because it is easiest to analyze and interpret.
◦ Three activity-cost drivers because they best reflect the relative consumption of resources.
◦ Three activity-cost drivers because product costs can be significantly cross-subsidized.
