Tri-bikes manufactures two different levels of bicycles: the Standard and the Extreme. The total overhead of $300,000 has traditionally been allocated by direct labor hours, with 150.000 hours for the Standard and 50,000 hours for the Extreme. After analyzing and assigning costs to two cost pools, it was determined that machine hours is estimated to have $200,000 of overhead, with 4,000 hours used on the Standard product and 1,000 hours used on the Extreme product. k was also estimated that the setup cost pool would have $100000 of overhead, with 1,000 hours for the Standard and 1,500 hours for the Extreme. What is the overhead rate per product, under traditional and under ABC costing?
XYZ Motors Corporation has identified activity centers to which overhead costs are assigned. The cost pool amounts for these centers and their selected cost drivers for 2018 are as follows: Activity Center - Utilities: Cost - P600,000 Cost Driver - 30,000 machine hours Activity Center - Scheduling sand setups Cost - P546,000 Cost Driver - 390 setups Activity Center - Material handling Cost - P1,280,000 Cost Driver - 800,000 kilos of materials The company's products and other operating statistics are as follows: Product A: Direct costs - P40,000 Machine hours - 15,000 Number of setups - 65 Kilos of material - 250,000 Number of units produced - 20,000 Direct labor hours - 16,000 Product B: Direct costs - P40,000 Machine hours - 5,000 Number of setups - 190 Kilos of material - 150,000 Number of units produced - 10,000 Direct labor hours - 9,000 Product C: Direct costs - P45,000 Machine hours - 10,000 Number of setups - 135 Kilos of material - 400,000 Number of units produced -…
Healthfirst (HF) Ltd has recently started to produce a face shield and product's standard cost data are as follows: Cost per unit Direct materials Perspex (0.5 meters @ $15 per meter) $ 7.50 Direct materials Hardened Plastic (0.25 meters at $20.00 per meter) 5.00 Direct manufacturing labour (0.5 hr @ $30.00 per hr) Manufacturing overhead Total Cost 15.00 Required Should HF accept the offer. Show all computations. 30.00 $57.50 Additional information 45% of the Manufacturing overhead changes with the number of units produced. Additionally, if production of face shields is discontinued, 20% of the remaining fixed cost will be avoided. The budgeted production used to compute overheads is 10,000 units per quarter. HF has been approached by another company who is willing to supply the face shields at $50. Per unit. The space used to manufacture face shields can be used to Generate $ 120,000 in contribution margin per quarter.
Ole Company manufactures two products, Product A and Product B. Currently, machine hours are used to allocate the overhead costs to the two products. Ole Company is considering adopting an activity-based costing system. If so, overhead costs will be traced to the following activities: Activities Machining Quality Control Material Moves Activity cost pools $300,000 $200,000 $400,000 Cost Drivers Machine Hours Number of inspections Number of moves Product A 30,000 400 2,000 Product B 20,000 600 6,000 (a) Calculate the total overhead cost assigned to Product A under the current system. (b) Calculate the total overhead cost for Product A if the company implements activity-based costing system. (c) Briefly explain which costing method gives a more accurate picture of the costs. (d) Suppose you are the management accountant in a university. List any three (3)activities commonly carried out in universities and identify an appropriate cost driver for each activity.
