Medical Tape makes two products: Generic and Label. It estimates it will produce 423,694 units of Generic and 652,200 of Label, and the overhead for each of its cost pools is as follows: It has also estimated the activities for each cost driver as follows: How much is the overhead allocated to each unit of Generic and Label?
The cost behavior patterns below are lettered A through H. The vertical axes of the graphs represent total dollars of expense, and the horizontal axes represent production in units, machine hours, or direct labor hours. In each case, the zero point is at the intersection of the two axes. Each graph may be used no more than once. Required: Select the graph that matches the lettered cost described here. a. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount of depreciation charged is computed based on the number of machine hours that the equipment was operated. b. Electricity billflat fixed charge, plus a variable cost after a certain number of kilowatt hours are used. c. City water billcomputed as follows: d. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount is computed by the straight-line method. e. Rent on a factory building donated by the citythe agreement calls for a fixed fee payment, unless 200,000 labor hours are worked, in which case no rent need be paid. f. Salaries of repair workersone repair worker is needed for every 1,000 machine hours or less (i.e., 0 to 1,000 hours requires one repair worker, 1,001 to 2,000 hours requires two repair workers, etc.).
Refer to the data given in Problem 4.36 and suppose that the expected activity costs are reported as follows (all other data remain the same): The per unit overhead cost using the 14 activity-based drivers is 1,108 and 779 for Cylinder A and Cylinder B, respectively. Required: 1. Determine the percentage of total costs represented by the three most expensive activities. 2. Allocate the costs of all other activities to the three activities identified in Requirement 1. Allocate the other activity costs to the three activities in proportion to their individual activity costs. Now assign these total costs to the products using the drivers of the three chosen activities. 3. Using the costs assigned in Requirement 2, calculate the percentage error using the ABC costs as a benchmark. Comment on the value and advantages of this ABC simplification.

Mirabile Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools-- Processing, Supervising, and Other. The costs in those activity cost pools appear below: Processing $ 3,800 $ 23,800 $ 10,400 Supervising other Processing costs are assigned to products using machine-hours (MHs) and Supervising costs are assigned to products using the number of batches. The costs in the Other activity cost pool are not assigned to products. Activity data appear below: Batches MHs (Processing) (Supervising) Product MO 9,700 500 Product M5 300 500 Total 10,000 1,000 Finally, sales and direct cost data are combined with Processing and Supervising costs to determine product margins.
