Acton Company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 800 units and of Product B is 500 units. The company has traditionally used direct labour hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.3 direct labour hours per unit, and Product B requires 0.2 direct labour hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $92,023. The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools-Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory-with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows: Expected Activity

Acklin Company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 600 units and of Product B is 900 units. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products.

Drippin' in Heat manufactures the finest formal wear west of the Mississippi. The company produces two main products: Suit Jackets and Sport Coats. Currently the company uses a traditional overhead rate in which Manufacturing Overhead is allocated to products based on direct labor hours logged. The projected production levels for the period are 1,200 Suit Jackets and 400 Sport Coats. Due to profitability concerns, management is considering switching to Activity-Based Costing (ABC). Management has divided manufacturing overhead costs into three activities and cost pools: Assembly $30,000; Machine Setup $20,000; and Product Movement $102,400. Management has identified the following cost drivers for each overhead activity: direct labor hours for assembly, number of setups for machine setup, and number of moves for product movement. The following information has been compiled for each product line: Direct Labor Requirements Machine Setup Requirements Product Movement Requirements Suit…
XYZ Co. currently uses traditional costing procedures, applying $800,000 of overhead to products Beta and Zeta on the basis of direct labor hours. The company is considering a shift to activity-based costing and the creation of individual cost pools that will use direct labor hours (DLH), production setups (SU), and number of parts components (PC) as cost drivers. Data on the cost pools and respective driver volumes follow. Product Pool No.1 (Driver: Pool No. 2 (Driver: SU) Pool No. 3 (Driver: PC) DLH) Zeta 1,200 55 2,250 Beta 2,800 45 750 Pool Cost $160,000 $280,000 $360,000 The overhead cost allocated to Zeta by using activity-based costing procedures would be: O a. $356,000.

Curry Company has two divisions, Eastern Division and Western Division. Curry Company has been allocating overhead based on direct labor hours. For the most recent year, the predetermined overhead rate was $70 per direct labor hour. An activity-based costing analysis of Curry's operations has identified three different cost pools. Data about the cost drivers for each pool for the most recent year given below.

Vandalay Industries manufactures two products: toasters and blenders. The annual production and sales of toasters is 2100 units, while 1600 units of blenders are produced and sold. The company has traditionally used direct labor hours to allocate its overhead to products. Toasters require 1.25 direct labor hours per unit, while blenders require 1 direct labor hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for the period is $149,315. The company is looking at the possibility of changing to an activity-based costing system for its products. If the company used an activity-based costing system, it would have the following three activity cost pools: Expected activity Activity cost pool Estimatedoverheadcost Toasters Blenders Total Setup costs $8585 215 batches 450 batches 665 batches Engineering costs $73,980 870 engineering 820 engineering hours 1690 engineering hrs Maintenance costs $66,750 2750 direct labor hours 1195 direct labor hours 3945 direct labor hours Total…
Kelso Manufacturing allocates manufacturing overhead using a single predetermined rate based on a planned use of 15,000 direct labour hours per year. Company leadership recently learned that its costing system may be too simple for its operations, and that job cost fairly inaccurate. A consultant was hired to study overhead costs, and the following information reflects the cost pools and activity rates that were determined: Cost Pool Total Cost Activity Rate Purchasing $90,000 $30/purchase order Assembly $150,000 $?/direct labour hour Inspection $60,000 $15/inspection Production $150,000 $3/unit produced $450,000 Total Based on the information presented in the introduction and table above, Kelso's single predetermined manufacturing overhead cost rate is __________ and its rate for the Assembly cost pool is __________ Question 8 a. $30/direct labour hour; $30/direct labour hour b. $30/direct labour hour; $10/direct labour hour C. $30/direct labour hour; $15/direct labour hour d.…
Holliston Test Laboratories does heat testing (HT) and stress testing (ST) on materials and operates at capacity. Under its current simple costing system, Holliston aggregates all operating costs of $1,200,000 into a single overhead cost pool. Holliston calculates a rate per test-hour of $16 ($1,200,000 -75,000 total test-hours). HT uses 50,000 test-hours, and ST uses 25,000 test-hours. Gary Celeste, Holliston's controller, believes that there is enough variation in test procedures and cost structures to establish separate costing and billing rates for HT and ST. The market for test services is becoming competitive. Without this information, any miscosting and mispricing of its services could cause Holliston to lose business. Celeste divides Holliston's costs into four activity-cost categories. (Click the icon to view the activity-cost categories.) Read the requirements. Requirement 1.

Milton6 Company uses a standard cost system in which manufacturing overhead costs are applied to units of product (widgets) on the basis of direct labor hours. Standards call for 2 direct labor hours per widget. The standard labor rate is $10 per hour. Four pounds of material are needed for each widget at a standard cost of $2.25 per pound. The standard variable overhead rate is $3.50 per direct labor hour. Milton6 actually produces 17,000 widgets during the year. Direct labor costs are $359,100 for 34,200 hours. Miltonó purchases 70,000 pounds of materials at $2.50 per pound, and used 65,400 pounds of those materials (the rest are in inventory at the end of the year) Actual variable overhead costs $92,000. For variable overhead, compute the spending(price) variance and label it is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). A. 700 F B. 32,500 F C. 27,700 U D. 700 U E. 32,500 U F. 27,700 F G. 27,000 U Н. 27,000 F
