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 $42,200; design $556,000; and construction oversight $124,200. The cost drivers and estimated use are as follows.

Activities Cost Drivers Expected Use of Cost Driver/Activity
Initial concept formation Number of project changes 15
Design Square feet 138,000
Construction oversight Number of months 105

Compute the predetermined overhead rate for each activity.

The predetermined overhead rate for each activity.

Activities: Initial concept formation  $42,200;

Cost Drivers: Number of project changes

Expected Use of Cost Driver/Activity =  15

Predetermined overhead rate for activity = Overhead/Cost Driver=  42,200/ 15= $2813

Activities: Design $556,000;

Cost Drivers :Square feet

Expected Use of Cost Driver/Activity  = 38,000

Predetermined overhead rate for activity =Overhead/Cost Driver= 556,000/ 38,000 =$ 14.63

Activities: Construction oversight  $124,200.

Cost Drivers: Number of months

Expected Use of Cost Driver/Activity= 105

Predetermined overhead rate for activity = Overhead/Cost Driver= 124,220/ 105 = 1183.04

there's 11 people for the 1st position. then, no matter who gets it, there's only 10 left for the second, and then 9 left for the third. 11 x 10 x 9 = 990.   the answer is there are 990 different ways the positions can be filled by these applicants

answer about 4-5 percent of the labor force is unemployed;
