Use ABC to compute overhead cost assigned to an order. KCC Production Corporation uses an activity-based costing system and provided the following budget data: The distribution of resource consumption across activities is as follows: During the year, KCC completed one order from a new customer for 1,000 units, and the related data are as follows: direct labor hours= 0.5 /unit direct materials= $2.00/unit direct labor= $5.00/hour machine hour =1 machine hour per unit Requirements 1. Compute the activity rates for each of the activity cost pools. 2. Compute the overhead
Process Costing
Process costing is a sort of operation costing which is employed to determine the value of a product at each process or stage of producing process, applicable where goods produced from a series of continuous operations or procedure.
Job Costing
