Patterson Company produces wafers for integrated circuits. Data for the most recent year are provided: aCalculated using number of dies as the single unit-level driver. bCalculated by multiplying the consumption ratio of each product by the cost of each activity. Required: 1. Using the five most expensive activities, calculate the overhead cost assigned to each product. Assume that the costs of the other activities are assigned in proportion to the cost of the five activities. 2. Calculate the error relative to the fully specified ABC product cost and comment on the outcome. 3. What if activities 1, 2, 5, and 8 each had a cost of 650,000 and the remaining activities had a cost of 50,000? Calculate the cost assigned to Wafer A by a fully specified ABC system and then by an approximately relevant ABC approach. Comment on the implications for the approximately relevant approach.
Support department cost allocation Hooligan Adventure Supply produces and sells various outdoor equipment. The Molding and Assembly production departments are supported by the Personnel and Maintenance departments. Personnel costs are allocated to the production departments based on the number of employees, and Maintenance costs are allocated based on number of service calls. Information about these departments is detailed in the following table: Instructions 1. Assuming that Hooligan Adventure Supply uses the sequential method to allocate its support department costs, which support department does it most likely allocate first? 2. Based on your response in part (1), determine the total costs allocated from each support department to each production department using the sequential method. 3. If Hooligan Adventure Supply wanted to use a more accurate support department cost allocation method, which method should it choose? What might discourage the company from using this method?
Rex Industries has identified three different activities as cost drivers: machine setups, machine hours, and inspections. The overhead and estimated usage are: Compute the overhead rate for each activity.
Activity-based department rate product costing and product cost distortions Big Sound Inc. manufactures two products: receivers and loudspeakers. The factory overhead incurred is as follows: The activity base associated with the two production departments is direct labor hours. The indirect labor can be assigned to two different activities as follows: The activity-base usage quantities and units produced for the two products follow: Instructions Determine the factory overhead rates under the multiple production department rate method. Assume that indirect labor is associated with the production departments, so that the total factory overhead is 420,000 and 294,000 for the Subassembly and Final Assembly departments, respectively. Determine the total and per-unit factory overhead costs allocated to each product, using the multiple production department overhead rates in (1). Determine the activity rates, assuming that the indirect labor is associated with activities rather than with the production departments. Determine the total and per-unit cost assigned to each product under activity-based costing. Explain the difference in the per-unit overhead allocated to each product under the multiple production department factory overhead rate and activity-based costing methods. production department factory overhead rate and activity-based costing methods.
Scattergraph method Using the data in P4-2 and a piece of graph paper: 1. Plot the data points on the graph and draw a line by visual inspection, indicating the trend shown by the data points. 2. Determine the variable cost per unit and the total fixed cost from the information on the graph. 3. Determine the variable cost to be charged to the product for the year. 4. Determine the fixed cost to be charged to factory overhead for the year. 5. Do these answers agree with the answers to P4-2? Why or why not?
Rocks Industries has identified three different activities as cost drivers: machine setups, machine hours, and inspections. The overhead and estimated usage are: Compute the overhead rate for each activity.
Lonsdale Inc. manufactures entry and dining room lighting fixtures. Five activities are used in manufacturing the fixtures. These activities and their associated budgeted activity costs and activity bases are as follows: Corporate records were obtained to estimate the amount of activity to be used by the two products. The estimated activity-base usage quantities and units produced follow: a. Determine the activity rate for each activity. b. Use the activity rates in (a) to determine the total and per-unit activity costs associated with each product. Round to the nearest cent.
Overhead costs are assigned to each product based on __________________. A. the proportion of that products use of the cost driver B. a predetermined overhead rate for a single cost driver C. price of the product D. machine hours per product
Using the data in P4-2 and Microsoft Excel: 1. Separate the variable and fixed elements. 2. Determine the cost to be charged to the product for the year. 3. Determine the cost to be charged to factory overhead for the year. 4. Determine the plotted data points using Chart Wizard. 5. Determine R2. 6. How do these solutions compare to the solutions in P4-2 and P4-3? 7. What does R2 tell you about this cost model?
Larsen, Inc., produces two types of electronic parts and has provided the following data: There are four activities: machining, setting up, testing, and purchasing. Required: 1. Calculate the activity consumption ratios for each product. 2. Calculate the consumption ratios for the plantwide rate (direct labor hours). When compared with the activity ratios, what can you say about the relative accuracy of a plantwide rate? Which product is undercosted? 3. What if the machine hours were used for the plantwide rate? Would this remove the cost distortion of a plantwide rate?
Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Rusties Company recently implemented an activity-based costing system. At the beginning of the year, management made the following estimates of cost and activity in the company's five activity cost pools: Activity Cost Pool Labor-related Purchase orders Product testing Template etching General factory Activity Cost Pool Labor-related (DLHS) Activity Measure Product A Product B Product C Product D Direct labor-hours Number of orders Number of tests Number of templates Machine-hours Total Overhead Cost Expected Overhead Cost $ 30,115 $ 2,320 $ 6,930 $ 870 $ 65,100 2. The expected activity for the year was distributed among the company's four products as follows: Product A 625 30 190 Expected Activity 1,585 DLHS Product B 160 Purchase orders (orders) 190 Product testing (tests) 55 Template etching (templates) 17 3 General factory (MHS) 3,600 1,700 2,300 Using the ABC data, determine the total amount…
An activity based costing system is used at Haldeman, SA to assign products overhead costs. First, the two overhead costs of Equipment depreciation and Water expense are allocated to three activity cost pools - Handling, Machining, and Other - based on resource consumption. The information used to perform these allocations is below: Overhead Costs: Equipment depreciation: $50,000 Water expense: $60,000 Distribution of Resource Consumption across Activity Cost Pools: Overhead Cost Activity Cost Pools Handling Machining Other Equipment depreciation 0.28 0.34 0.38 Water expense 0.32 0.22 0.46 The second stage of allocation is done by assigning the Handling costs to products on the basis of orders filled while products are assigned Machining costs based on machine hours. Costs assigned to the Other activity pool are not further assigned to products. Activity information for Haldeman's only two products is below: orders filled machine hours Product LS-157: 3,400 3,400…
