Sanford, Inc., has developed value-added standards for four activities: purchasing parts, receiving parts, moving parts, and setting up equipment. The activities, the activity drivers, the standard and actual quantities, and the price standards for 20x1 are as follows: The actual prices paid per unit of each activity driver were equal to the standard prices. Required: 1. Prepare a cost report that lists the value-added, non-value-added, and actual costs for each activity. 2. Which activities are non-value-added? Explain why. Also, explain why value-added activities can have non-value-added costs.
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?
The management of Wheeler Company has decided to develop cost formulas for its major overhead activities. Wheeler uses a highly automated manufacturing process, and power costs are a significant manufacturing cost. Cost analysts have decided that power costs are mixed; thus, they must be broken into their fixed and variable elements so that the cost behavior of the power usage activity can be properly described. Machine hours have been selected as the activity driver for power costs. The following data for the past eight quarters have been collected: Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours. Does the scatter-graph show a linear relationship between machine hours and power cost? 2. Using the high and low points, compute a power cost formula. 3. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula. Evaluate the coefficient of determination. 4. Rerun the regression and drop the point (20,000; 26,000) as an outlier. Compare the results from this regression to those for the regression in Requirement 3. Which is better?
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.
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.
Angara Corporation uses activity - based costing to determine product costs for external financial reports. The company has provided the following data concerning its activity - based costing system: Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure) Total Cost Machine related (machine - hours) $ 168, 300 Batch setup (setups) $ 721, 600 Order size (direct labor - hours) $ 138, 000 Activity Cost Pools Total Activity Product X Product Y Total Machine related 1,800 9,200 11,000 Batch setup 4,100 6, 900 11,000 Order size 7, 000 5,000 12,000 The total amount of overhead cost allocated to Product X would be closest to: Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.

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…
