Miramar Industries manufactures two products: A and B. The
manufacturing operation involves three overhead
activities—production setup, materials handling, and general
factory activities. Miramar uses activity-based costing to allocate
overhead to products. An activity analysis of the overhead revealed
the following estimated costs and activity bases for these
activities:
Activity | Cost | Activity Base |
Production setup | $250,000 | Number of setups |
Material handling | 150,000 | Number of parts |
General overhead | 80,000 | Number of direct labor hours |
Each product's total activity in each of the three areas are as
follows:
Product A | Product B | |
Number of setups | 100 | 300 |
Number of parts | 40,000 | 20,000 |
Number of direct labor hours | 8,000 | 12,000 |
What is the overhead allocated to Product B using activity-based
costing?
a.$292,500
