Koontz Company manufactures two models of industrial components—a Basic model and an Advanced Model. The company considers all of its manufacturing overhead costs to be fixed and it uses plantwide manufacturing overhead cost allocation based on direct labor-hours. Koontz’s controller prepared the segmented income statement that is shown below for the most recent year (he allocated selling and administrative expenses to products based on sales dollars):     Basic   Advanced   Total Number of units produced and sold   20,000     10,000   30,000                 Sales $ 3,000,000   $ 2,000,000 $ 5,000,000 Cost of goods sold   2,300,000     1,350,000   3,650,000 Gross margin   700,000     650,000   1,350,000 Selling and administrative expenses   720,000     480,000   1,200,000 Net operating income (loss) $ (20,000 ) $ 170,000 $ 150,000     Direct laborers are paid $20 per hour. Direct materials cost $40 per unit for the Basic model and $60 per unit for the Advanced model. Koontz is considering a change from plantwide overhead allocation to a departmental approach. The overhead costs in the company’s Molding Department would be allocated based on machine-hours and the overhead costs in its Assembly and Pack Department would be allocated based on direct labor-hours. To enable further analysis, the controller gathered the following information:     Molding   Assemble and Pack   Total Manufacturing overhead costs $ 787,500   $ 562,500 $ 1,350,000 Direct labor hours:               Basic   10,000     20,000   30,000 Advanced   5,000     10,000   15,000 Machine hours:               Basic   12,000     -   12,000 Advanced   10,000     -   10,000     3. Koontz’s production manager has suggested using activity-based costing instead of either the plantwide or departmental approaches. To facilitate the necessary calculations, she assigned the company’s total manufacturing overhead cost to five activity cost pools as follows:   Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Manufacturing Overhead Machining Machine-hours in Molding $ 417,500 Assemble and pack Direct labor hours in Assemble and Pack   282,500 Order processing Number of customer orders   230,000 Setups Setup hours   340,000 Other (unused capacity)     80,000     $ 1,350,000     She also determined that the average order size for the Basic and Advanced models is 400 units and 50 units, respectively. The molding machines require a setup for each order. One setup hour is required for each customer order of the Basic model and three hours are required to setup for an order of the Advanced model.   The company pays a sales commissions of 5% for the Basic model and 10% for the Advanced model. Its traceable fixed advertising costs include $150,000 for the Basic model and $200,000 for the Advanced model. The remainder of the company’s selling and administrative costs are organization-sustaining in nature.   Using the additional information provided by the production manager, calculate:   a. An activity rate for each activity cost pool. b. The total manufacturing overhead cost allocated to the Basic model and the Advanced model using the activity-based approach. c. The total selling and administrative cost traced to the Basic model and the Advanced model using the activity-based approach.

Koontz Company manufactures two models of industrial components—a Basic model and an Advanced Model. The company considers all of its manufacturing overhead costs to be fixed and it uses plantwide manufacturing overhead cost allocation based on direct labor-hours. Koontz’s controller prepared the segmented income statement that is shown below for the most recent year (he allocated selling and administrative expenses to products based on sales dollars):

 

  Basic   Advanced   Total
Number of units produced and sold   20,000     10,000   30,000
               
Sales $ 3,000,000   $ 2,000,000 $ 5,000,000
Cost of goods sold   2,300,000     1,350,000   3,650,000
Gross margin   700,000     650,000   1,350,000
Selling and administrative expenses   720,000     480,000   1,200,000
Net operating income (loss) $ (20,000 ) $ 170,000 $ 150,000
 

 

Direct laborers are paid $20 per hour. Direct materials cost $40 per unit for the Basic model and $60 per unit for the Advanced model. Koontz is considering a change from plantwide overhead allocation to a departmental approach. The overhead costs in the company’s Molding Department would be allocated based on machine-hours and the overhead costs in its Assembly and Pack Department would be allocated based on direct labor-hours. To enable further analysis, the controller gathered the following information:

 

  Molding   Assemble and Pack   Total
Manufacturing overhead costs $ 787,500   $ 562,500 $ 1,350,000
Direct labor hours:              
Basic   10,000     20,000   30,000
Advanced   5,000     10,000   15,000
Machine hours:              
Basic   12,000     -   12,000
Advanced   10,000     -   10,000
 

 

3. Koontz’s production manager has suggested using activity-based costing instead of either the plantwide or departmental approaches. To facilitate the necessary calculations, she assigned the company’s total manufacturing overhead cost to five activity cost pools as follows:

 

Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Manufacturing Overhead
Machining Machine-hours in Molding $ 417,500
Assemble and pack Direct labor hours in Assemble and Pack   282,500
Order processing Number of customer orders   230,000
Setups Setup hours   340,000
Other (unused capacity)     80,000
    $ 1,350,000
 

 

She also determined that the average order size for the Basic and Advanced models is 400 units and 50 units, respectively. The molding machines require a setup for each order. One setup hour is required for each customer order of the Basic model and three hours are required to setup for an order of the Advanced model.

 

The company pays a sales commissions of 5% for the Basic model and 10% for the Advanced model. Its traceable fixed advertising costs include $150,000 for the Basic model and $200,000 for the Advanced model. The remainder of the company’s selling and administrative costs are organization-sustaining in nature.

 

Using the additional information provided by the production manager, calculate:

 

a. An activity rate for each activity cost pool.

b. The total manufacturing overhead cost allocated to the Basic model and the Advanced model using the activity-based approach.

c. The total selling and administrative cost traced to the Basic model and the Advanced model using the activity-based approach.
