Hermann is not satisfied with the traditional method of allocating overhead because he believes that most of the overhead costs relate to the truck wheels product line because of its complexity. He therefore develops the following three activity cost pools and related cost drivers to better understand these costs. Activity Cost Pools Setting up machines Assembling Inspection Assembling Estimated Overhead Costs $228,000 380,000 273,600 Setting up machines $ Inspection Compute the activity-based overhead rates for these three cost pools. $ $ Estimated Use of Cost Drivers 1,000 setups 76,000 labor hours 1,200 inspections Overhead Rates /setup /DLH /inspection

Carter, Incorporated, produces two products, Product A and Product B. Carter uses a traditional volume-based costing system in which direct labor hours are the allocation base. Carter is considering switching to an ABC system by splitting its manufacturing overhead cost across three activities: Design, Production, and Inspection. The cost of each activity and usage of the cost drivers are as follows: Activity Pool (Driver) Design (engineering hours) Production (direct labor hours) Inspection (batches) Cost of Pool $ 300,000 500,000 200,000 300,000 100 Carter manufactures 10,000 units of Product A and 7,500 units of Product B per month. Required: a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate under the traditional costing system. b. Calculate the activity rate for Design. c. Calculate the activity rate for Machining. d. Calculate the activity rate for Inspection. e. Calculate the indirect manufacturing costs assigned to each unit of Product A under the traditional costing system. f.…
implementing an activity-based costing system that has four activity cost pools: Travel, Pickup and Delivery, Customer Service, and Other. The activity measures are miles for the Travel cost pool, number of pickups and deliveries for the Pickup and Delivery cost pool, and number of customers for the Customer Service cost pool. The Other cost pool has no activity measure because it is an organization-sustaining activity. The following costs will be assigned using the activity-based costing system Driver and guard wages Vehicle operating expense Vehicle depreciation. Customer representative salaries and i expenses office expenses Driver and guard wages Vehicle operating expense Vehicle depreciation Customer representative salaries and expenses office expenses Administrative expenses Administrative expenses Total cost The distribution of resource consumption across the activity cost pools is as follows. Pickup and Delivery 35% 5% $1,000,000 510,000 390,000 Driver and guard wages Vehicle…
ABC Company produces two products, Nifty and So-So, and uses a costing system in which all overhead is accumulated in a single cost pool and allocated based on machine hours. Blaine's management has decided to implement ABC because a cost study has revealed significant amounts of overhead cost related to setup activity and design activity. The number of setups and the number of design hours will be the activity drivers for the two new cost pools, and machine hours will continue as the base for allocating the remaining overhead. Selected information follows for ABC Company's most recent year of operations: A В ТОТAL UNITS PRODUCED 500 15,500 16,000 DIRECT MATERIAL COST PER UNIT $ 200.00 $ 20.00 ТОTAL 100,000.00 310,000.00 $ 410,000.00 MACHINE HOURS 3,000 47,000 50,000 DIRECT LABOR COST 2$ 50,000 $ 350,000 $ 400,000 SETUP 120 80 200 DESIGN HOURS 6,000 4,000 10,000 OVERHEAD SETUP RELATED $ 250,000 DESIGN RELATED 350,000 OTHERS 900,000 Calculate the total and per unit reported cost for the…

The cost accountant for M. Company wants to determine the cost of factory overhead. Based on observation and discussions with plant workers, you feel that five accounts are most relevant. Two are fixed- supervisory salaries and depreciation- and the remaining three are variable. Indirect labor is primarily used to move materials and varies with a number of moves. The largest component of utilities is electricity to run production machinery; which is driven by machine hours. Purchasing seems to be driven by the number of purchase orders. The accounts and their balances for the past six months are shown below: Indirect Plant and Labor Supervisory Equipment Cost Utilities Purchasing Salaries Depreciation July $14,250 $12,000 $38,200 $20,000 $6,500 Aug 15,800 10,600 35,400 23,000…
