1. A company uses activity-based costing to determine the costs
of its three products: A, B, and C. The budgeted cost and activity
for each of the company's three activity cost pools are shown in
the following table:
Budgeted Activity | ||||||||||||
Activity Cost Pool | Budgeted Cost | Product A | Product B | Product C | ||||||||
Activity 1 | $ | 89,000 | 7,900 | 10,900 | 21,900 | |||||||
Activity 2 | $ | 64,000 | 8,900 | 16,900 | 9,900 | |||||||
Activity 3 | $ | 120,000 | 4,400 | 2,900 | 3,525 | |||||||
How much overhead will be assigned to Product B using
activity-based costing?
2. Angle Max Industries produces a product which goes through
two operations, Assembly and Finishing, before it is ready to be
shipped. Next year’s expected costs and activities are shown
below.
Assembly | Finishing | |||||
Direct labor hours | 290,000 | DLH | 159,000 | DLH | ||
Machine hours | 490,000 | MH | 144,550 | MH | ||
Overhead costs | $ | 490,000 | $ | 779,100 | ||
(LO 3) Assume that the Assembly Department allocates overhead based on machine hours, and the Finishing Department allocates overhead based on direct labor hours. How much total overhead will be assigned to a product that requires 1 direct labor hour and 4.4 machine hours in the Assembly Department, and 5.0 direct labor hours and 0.6 machine hours in the Finishing Department?
Solution 1:
Computation of activity rate and Allocation of Overhead - Product B | |||||
Activity | Estimated Overhead Cost | Usage of Activity Base | Activity Rate | Product B | |
Usage | Allocated Costs | ||||
Activity 1 | $89,000.00 | 40700 | $2.19 | 10900 | $23,835 |
Activity 2 | $64,000.00 | 35700 | $1.79 | 16900 | $30,297 |
Activity 3 | $120,000.00 | 10825 | $11.09 | 2900 | $32,148 |
Total | $273,000.00 | $86,280 |
Solution 2:
Overhead rate per machine hours of assembly department = $490,000 / 490000 = $1 per machine hour
Overhead rate per labor hour of finishing department = $779,100 / 159000 = $4.90 per labor hour
Overhead assigned to product- (4.4*$1) + (5*$4.90) = $28.90
