are currently absorbed on a machine hour basis. Selling price is set by adding a mark-up of
30% of prime cost. Direct labour is paid at a rate of £18 per hour.

Follow-up Question

b) Managers at Hughes Limited have become concerned about declining profits although market demand for its electric motors has been buoyant. As a result, they have become interested in applying an activity-based costing (ABC) approach to product costing. A firm of consultants has recently completed a workplace study and has been able to allocate the total annual budgeted production overheads across three key activities. This is shown below.

	£
Purchasing	1,000,000
Processing	1,350,000
Materials handling	950,000
	3,300,000

In addition, the identified cost driver for each of the three activities is as follows:

Activity	Cost driver
Purchasing	Purchase orders issued
Processing	Machine hours
Materials handling	Number of supplier deliveries

Required:

Based on ABC principles, calculate the selling prices for the Standard and the Super. You should assume that there is no change to the cost-plus pricing policy employed by Hughes Limited.
