Tomasini Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing accounting system:

Supervisory wages	$	780,000
Factory supplies	$	380,000

Distribution of Resource Consumption across Activity Cost Pools:

Activity Cost Pools	Batch Processing	Unit Processing		Other	Total
Supervisory wages	30%	60%		10%	100%
Factory supplies	40%	30%		30%	100%

The "Other" activity cost pool consists of the costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs that are not assigned to products.

How much supervisory wages and factory supplies cost would NOT be assigned to products using the activity-based costing system?

Answer 1

Answer)

Here,my answer is $192000.

In contrast to traditional costing,in activity based costing idle time costs are treated as period costs as activity based costing products are charged only for what they have used and it is clearly mentioned in the question that idle time & organisational sustaining costs are not assigned to products.

Working:

Costs which are not considered:

In Supervisorywages:

$780000×10%=$78000

In factory supplies:

$380000×30%=$114000

Total:$114000+$78000=$192000.
