One of Stine Company’s activity cost pools is machine setups, with estimated overhead of $140000. Stine produces sparklers (400 setups) and lighters (600 setups). How much of the machine setup cost pool should be assigned to sparklers?
Estimated overhead cost of activity cost pool of machine setups = $140000
Stine produces sparklers (400 setups) and lighters (600 setups).
Machine setups required for producing sparklers = 400
Machine setups required for producing lighters = 600
Total machine setups required = 400 + 600 = 1,000
Hence:
Machine setup activity driver rate = Estimated overhead cost of activity cost pool of machine setups / Total machine setups required
= $140000 / 1,000
= $140 per setup
Machine setup cost pool that should be assigned to sparklers = Machine set activity driver rate * Machine setups required for producing sparklers
= $140 * 400
= $56,000
Machine setup cost pool that should be assigned to sparklers = $56,000
