Fountain Water Products (FWP) manufacturers water bottles. They have historically used a traditional system that allocated the manufacturing overhead costs based on machine hours. FWP is looking at switching to an ABC system in order to ensure more accurate product costing. They first want to compare the traditional and ABC costing systems to determine if it is worth the effort and costs to implement and maintain. They estimate a total overhead cost of $459,000. Under the traditional system they identified machine hours as the cost driver, and estimated a total of 51,000 machine hours. They actually incurred 48,700 machine hours in production. The total applied MOH calculated under the more precise ABC system was $320,000. The ABC costing system will cost $50,000 to implement. FWP has determined that a benefit of more accurate costing by $80,000 is worth the $50,000 implementation cost. What is the difference between the ABC costing and traditional system? Enter your number as a…

A manager must decide which type of machine to buy, A, B, or C. Machine costs (per individual machine) are as follows: Machine Cost A $ 60,000 B $ 50,000 C $ 60,000 Product forecasts and processing times on the machines are as follows: PROCCESSING TIME PER UNIT (minutes) Product AnnualDemand A B C 1 16,000 3 4 4 2 10,000 6 5 1 3 15,000 1 3 6 4 17,000 5 3 4 a. Assume that only purchasing costs are being considered. Compute the total processing time required for each machine type to meet demand, how many of each machine type would be needed, and the resulting total purchasing cost for each machine type. The machines will operate 10 hours a day, 240 days a year. (Enter total processing times as whole numbers. Round up machine quantities to the next higher whole number. Compute total purchasing costs using these rounded machine quantities. Enter the resulting total purchasing cost as a whole number. Omit the "$" sign.) Total…
