For many years, Yotsuya Company has used a manufacturing overhead rate based on direct labor hours. A new plant accountant has suggested that the company may be able to assign overhead costs to products more accurately by using an activity-based costing system. The accountant explains that by creating an overhead rate for each production activity that causes overhead costs, the resulting product costs will reflect an accurate measure of overhead cost. The direct material cost is P120 per unit. The budgeted hours is 8,030 direct labor hours. The accountant has identified activity centers to which overhead costs are assigned. The cost pool amounts for theses centers and their selected activity drivers for 2019: Activity Centers Costs Activity Drivers Materials handling P60,000 1,200 times handled Scheduling and setups 80,000 400 setups Design section 10,750 100 changes No. of parts 50,000 500 parts P200,750 The company’s products…
